Earlier in the quarter, Sheldon was called for a foul after poking Clark in the eye. The two had an exchange of words, leading to another altercation that culminated with Connecticut guard Marina Mabrey delivering a cheap shot to Clark from behind:

That wasn’t the only dirty move by Jacy Sheldon on Caitlin Clark, though. Another camera angle shows Sheldon digging her nails into Clark’s biceps while the latter had the basketball:

Per ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, the WNBA announced that no players would be suspended for the incidents in Tuesday’s game. Mabrey’s technical foul was upgraded to a flagrant two, meaning she’ll get a fine. Cunningham was also fined an undisclosed amount for her part in the scuffle.
Indiana got the last laugh by cruising to an 88-71 victory. Clark led the way for the Fever with 20 points, six rebounds and two assists. Jacy Sheldon had two points, a pair of rebounds, three assists and as many steals in the loss.
The slumping Sun also fell 83-75 to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, dropping them to 2-10 on the year. Connecticut is sits second-last in the league, ahead of only the 2-10 Dallas Wings. They’re already 3.5 games behind the Las Vegas Aces for the final playoff spot, too.
Caitlin Clark & Jacy Sheldon Will Meet Again On July 15
Fans won’t have to wait too long for the highly-anticipated rematch between the Fever and Sun, who just might have started the next big WNBA rivalry. The two teams will meet again on July 15, with Connecticut having home advantage this time.
