It had been brewing throughout the Tuesday, June 17 matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, as Clark had exchanged words with Connecticut players in a few instances. Late in the third quarter, Clark was dribbling around the perimeter with Sun guard Jacy Sheldon guarding her. Sheldon made incidental contact with Clark's face, which frustrated the Fever star. A foul was called and Clark shoved Sheldon as she confronted her. But right afterward, Sun forward Marina Mabrey jumped in and pushed Clark down on the floor. Fever and Sun players then got tangled up before the situation got de-escalated.
