Fans incensed Marina Mabrey wasn't ejected for Caitlin Clark collision
With the Indiana Fever leading the Connecticut Sun 55-45 midway through the third quarter, tempers flared after Caitlin Clark was fouled by Sun guard Jacy Sheldon.
As Clark was attempting to shake free from Sheldon at the top of the key, Sheldon reached with her right hand and poked Clark in the eyes. It didn't appear as though Sheldon was attempting to make a play on the basketball. As Clark was gathering herself following the foul, Sheldon was right there in her airspace.
Clark responded by shoving Sheldon. Naturally, all of it led to a dustup between the Fever and Sun.
Sun forward Tina Charles and Sun guard Marina Mabrey entered the fray. Mabrey came over and collided with Clark, knocking Clark to the floor.
After a lengthy review, Sheldon's foul was upgraded to a flagrant 1 foul. Meanwhile, Clark, Charles and Mabrey were each assessed technical fouls.
Many fans weren't pleased with the adjudication on the skirmish and the fact that Mabrey wasn't ejected.

Watch: Caitlin Clark poked in eye by Jacy Sheldon, shoved by Marina Mabrey, sparking scuffles between Fever, Sun
Caitlin Clark and Jacy Sheldon have some bad blood. And tensions escalated Tuesday night thanks to multiple run-ins in a physical game that resulted in repeated scuffles and ejections between Clark's Indiana Fever and Sheldon's Connecticut Sun. An eye-poke of Clark pushed things over the edge. Advertisement With the Fever leading 55-45 midway through the third quarter, Clark took possession of the ball over halfcourt. She dribbled over the 3-point line near the free-throw line with Sheldon guarding her closely. Both players initiated contact. Sheldon reached up with her right hand and poked Clark in the eye, drawing a personal foul. Clark recoiled. Sheldon then bumped Clark, and Clark shoved her away. Then Connecticut's Marina Mabrey approached Clark from behind and shoved her to the court. The situation quickly de-escalated as Clark stood up from the ground. Officials then went to the monitor to suss things out. Advertisement Several minutes later, the verdict was in. Sheldon's foul for swiping Clark in the face was elevated to a flagrant 1. Clark was issued a technical foul her response. Connecticut's Tina Charles, who rushed to approach Clark after Clark's exchange with Sheldon, was also issued an offsetting technical foul. And Mabrey was issued a technical foul for shoving Clark to the court. The result was one technical and two flagrant foul free throws for Clark and possession for the Fever. Clark hit all three free throws to extend the Fever lead to 58-45. Nobody was ejected. Yet. The incident wasn't the first or the last between the two teams. Tuesday's Sun-Fever game got physical, especially around Caitlin Clark. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy) (ASSOCIATED PRESS) How it started During a dead ball early in the second quarter, Clark and Sheldon exchanged words while walking from the sideline. Clark shoved Sheldon, prompting a brief exchange of words among the players on the court. Advertisement No foul was called. But the incident set the tone for a physical game that ultimately boiled over in the third quarter and again in the fourth. How it ended 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. This time, another, more physical scuffle ensued. As did multiple ejections. After going to the monitor, officials issued Cunningham a flagrant 2 penalty that came with an automatic ejection. Sheldon was issued a technical foul and ejected for fighting. As was Connecticut's Lindsay Allen. Advertisement Players from each team hit a free throw, and the game mercifully ended seconds later with the Fever securing an 88-71 win. With the victory, the Fever secured their spot representing the Eastern Conference in the Commissioner's Cup championship game. They'll face the Minnesota Lynx in the title game on July 1. Fever coach: Officials have to 'be better' After the game, Fever head coach Stephanie White shared her thoughts about the officiating when Clark was asked about the technical foul she received after getting poked in the eye and shoved to the ground. "There wasn't an explanation for the tech that she got," White said, taking over the question that was asked of Clark. "I think that it was pretty obvious that stuff was brewing. When the officials don't get control of the ballgame, when they allow that stuff to happen. Advertisement "And it's been happening all season long. All season long. ... This is what happens. You've got competitive women who are the best in the world at what they do. And when you allow them to play physical and you allow these things to happen, they're gonna compete. And they're gonna have their teammates' backs." White then implored the officials to "be better." "I started talking to the officials in the first quarter. We knew this was gonna happen. You could tell it was gonna happen. "They've got to get control of it, and they've got to be better. They've got to be better."

Caitlin Clark Tells the Truth on Personal Decision With Nike
Caitlin Clark Tells the Truth on Personal Decision With Nike originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Caitlin Clark's return from injury marked a special occasion for the Indiana Fever star. Apart from the fact that she was finally able to return following a five-game injury layoff to battle the defending champs, the New York Liberty, Clark also marked the moment with a new pair of Nike kicks. Advertisement It wasn't just any ordinary pair of sneakers, though, as Clark's Nike Kobe 6 Proto Player Editions for the Liberty game on Saturday were extra special for the 23-year-old. Called "The Bellas," Clark decided to dedicate her most recent Nike Kobe PE to her childhood dog. The shoe came in a beige/tan colorway and featured a bright pink tongue that had the famed Kobe logo. The swoosh on the side came in a bold yellow color, while the cream-colored laces matched the shoe's upper. On Tuesday, ahead of Indiana's game against the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Clark shed some light on her latest custom Nike shoe. Advertisement "Honestly, Nike asked me kind of what I want to do with some of the copies that I wear throughout the season, and my dog is really important to me," she said. "It's my childhood dog that I grew up with. "The shoe was basically all golden. And then obviously the tongue of the shoe was pink for a Golden Retriever or any dog, really. But, um, and then on the sock liner, my shoe had a picture of my dog." Clark also made it clear that the dog image in the shoe's inner lining was, in fact, a photo of her own dog. "A lot of my teammates thought it was like some random graphic I found on the internet, but it was actually my dog," she continued. "But yeah, they were cute and you know, it kind of makes it fun when they're a little more personal to you and it makes it fun to get to put them on and go out and play in them." There has been no official confirmation as to whether or not Nike will release "The Bellas" to the public. Be that as it may, there's no denying that what the fans are looking forward to is Clark's first signature shoe, which has not had any substantial updates of late, either.

Fever Coach Stephanie White Reveals Concerning Update on Tuesday
Fever Coach Stephanie White Reveals Concerning Update on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever got a major boost in their last game with the return of All-Star guard Caitlin Clark, who had missed the team's last five contests due to a lingering quad injury. Advertisement Clark quickly made up for lost time by erupting for a season-high 32 points in her first game back, while also leading Indiana to a huge 102-88 win over the defending champions, the New York Liberty. While the Fever got Clark back for Saturday's contest, they also lost one of their key players for that matchup. Six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner was forced to miss the Liberty game due to personal reasons, and the details of her leave of absence have not been disclosed to the public. Bonner is out again for Tuesday's matchup against the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and head coach Stephanie White provided an update on Bonner's status before the game.

What could be a cause for concern, though, is that White refused to specify if Bonner, who joined the team as a free agent in the offseason, will be able to join the team for its upcoming road trip. Advertisement After Tuesday's game, Indiana is scheduled to play three straight games on the road, starting with the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday. It's going to be a tough stretch for the Fever--they play three road games in six days--and not having Bonner could prove to be a significant blow for this squad. Bonner hasn't exactly been incredible to start the season for her new team, but there's no denying that she brings a lot to the table for Indiana. In nine games played this season, the two-time All-WNBA veteran has averaged 7.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 21.3 minutes per contest.
