This, after Fever star Caitlin Clark was decked by Sun guard Marina Mabrey in the third quarter, resulting in a flagrant foul and another heated moment.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham emerged as a hero among WNBA fans by standing up for Caitlin Clark in taking down Connecticut Sun star Jacy Sheldon during a game earlier this week after Clark had been repeatedly fouled.

As the clock wound down on the Fever's triumph, Cunningham's forceful foul on Jacy Sheldon ignited a fiery dispute involving players from both teams. There were several confrontations on the court; Clark and Sheldon traded verbal jabs before Sheldon struck Clark on the head.
