Connecticut Sun shooting guard Marina Mabrey has come to the fore of WNBA chatter following her hard foul on Caitlin Clark earlier this week.
And social media detectives have pointed to the difference in how she treats rookie Paige Buckers.
The Sun played the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night. While it was a big win for Indiana, no one cared about the scoreline as the scrappy incidents stemming from the game were all people could talk about.
