Last Tuesday night's game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun became scrappy early on as Caitlin Clark went up against long-time rival Jacy Sheldon, who has been a rival of Clark's since their Big Ten days at Iowa and Ohio State.
Clark and Sheldon got chippy during the first half of the game, but that dispute was quickly settled. Later in the third quarter, Sheldon struck Clark's face while trying to guard her, and the tension began to broil over between the two players. As the two teams came in to confront each other, Sun's Marina Mabrey shoved Clark to the ground. Clark, Mabrey, and Tina Charles were all assessed technical fouls, and Sheldon was given a Flagrant 1 foul.
