Sky, Sun players get into intense tussle during WNBA game, leads to multiple ejections

A fracas broke out in a WNBA game on Wednesday night between the Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun, resulting in multiple ejections.

The incident occurred with about six minutes left in the second quarter. Sky guard Rebecca Allen and Sun forward Bria Hartley got tangled up fighting for a rebound. Allen’s teammate Ariel Atkins appeared to run from the other side of the court and rushed Hartley during the entanglement.
