Tempers flared multiple times during the Indiana Fever’s win over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday with Caitlin Clark being at the center of the escapades once again.

Clark and Sun guard Jacy Sheldon were getting chippy at the beginning of the game, but it was not until the third quarter that tensions boiled over. Sheldon poked Clark in the eye, and it set off a skirmish that ended with Sun guard Marina Mabrey shoving Clark to the ground.

Clark, for some reason, was assessed a technical foul during the incident, as was Mabrey and Sun veteran Tina Charles. Sheldon’s common foul was upgraded to a flagrant.

It was not the only incident as Fever guard Sophie Cunningham delivered a hard foul onto Sheldon, who reacted angrily. There was a ton of pushing and shoving along the baseline and officials later ejected Cunningham, Sheldon and Lindsay Allen.

Fever head coach Stephanie White was none too happy with the officials after the game. She said she did not receive any explanation for the technical foul on Clark and put the onus on the officials to get control of the game in its early stages.

"I think it was pretty obvious that stuff was brewing," White said, via Indy
