Caitlin Clark was involved in multiple incidents during the game, which included one in the third quarter that saw the Fever star hit the deck after being shoved forcefully by Sun veteran Marina Mabrey.
Clark got poked in the eye by Connecticut guard Jacy Sheldon, which prompted a strong reaction from the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year. Clark pushed Sheldon off, which resulted in Mabrey charging at Clark and pushing her to the floor.
Clark, Mabrey and Sun center Tina Charles were all hit with technical fouls, while Sheldon was assessed with a Flagrant foul for the eye poke.
The physical nature of the game continued, and it all nearly blew up toward the end of the game. This was after Fever guard Sophie Cunningham delivered a hard foul on Sheldon during a fastbreak play.

The incident led to another heated confrontation between the players, which ultimately resulted in Cunningham and Sheldon, along with Sun player Lindsay Allen, getting ejected from the game.
Cunningham then took to Instagram shortly after the Fever's 88-71 win to share a cryptic post. The 6-foot-1 guard posted a photo of herself with her arms wide open. She had a smile on her face, too, which might suggest the mood she is currently in.
Cunningham's post quickly turned heads on social media.

"lol I knew the day I heard the Fever traded for Sophie it was a dang smart move," another said.

Cunningham was ejected from Tuesday's game after getting hit with a flagrant foul 2. According to the WNBA rulebook, this warrants an automatic ejection. Moreover, it is also stated that "the offender will be subject to a fine and/or suspension by the President," which means that Cunningham could be facing punishment from the league for her actions here.
