NOT OVER YET – Tensions from the Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun game still run hot as controversy erupts over Caitlin Clark’s clash with Marina Mabrey: Clark gets a technical, while Mabrey stays in the game. Fans cry out: WHERE’S THE FAIRNESS?

The women’s basketball world is still buzzing about one specific moment from what was an incredibly physical June 17 game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun.

While this game had plenty of heated moments that led to ejections, flagrant fouls, and technical fouls, the one that stands out the most was when Fever star guard Caitlin Clark was shoved to the ground by Sun wing Marina Mabrey in the third quarter.

This came after Clark and Sun guard Jacy Sheldon had a brief shoving match because Sheldon poked Clark in the eye while playing defense. Mabrey interjected by knocking Clark down, which caused a fracas between both teams.

It seemed obvious that Mabrey would get ejected for this shove. However, after a lengthy review, she (along with Clark) was only assessed a technical foul, while Sheldon’s initial foul was upgraded to a flagrant 1.

Fever fans were furious not only that Mabrey was not ejected, but that Clark got a technical foul for being on the receiving end of this non-basketball aggression from Mabrey. And after the game, the contest’s crew chief, Ashley Gloss, explained what went into both of these decisions.

“The contact made by Marina Mabrey did not rise to the level of an ejection. Additionally, it did not meet the criteria for a flagrant foul penalty two,” Gloss revealed, per an X post from Chloe Peterson.

When speaking about the Clark technical decision, Gloss said, “After the foul by Sheldon, Clark reacted in an unsportsmanlike manner towards Sheldon.”

It’s hard to imagine that fans will feel satisfied with these responses.
