There was Caitlin Clark getting hit in the face on a flagrant foul from Jacy Sheldon, and what appeared to be retaliation from her teammate Sophie Cunningham that sparked a melee toward the end of the matchup, which led to ejections.

With the Fever leading, 87-70 in the final minute, Indiana's Sophie Cunningham committed a hard foul on Sheldon as Sheldon attempted a breakaway layup. Cunningham grabbed Sheldon as Sheldon approached the basket, and Sheldon fell to the ground.

Fever superstar Caitlin Clark and Sun guard Jacy Sheldon came face-to-face and exchanged words during a chippy moment early in the game, a confrontation between two longtime competitors that was quickly deescalated.
