With 4:10 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Fever holding a solid lead, Aces forward A’ja Wilson attempted to get open before accidentally trucking Sophie Cunningham to the floor, before the Indiana guard was called for the foul. After the play, however, a fan appeared to say something and point at Wilson, who did not take their actions lightly, going at the fan for a bit as well.
Aces players had to pull Wilson back from the fan, who was eventually called for a technical after the whole situation.
The fan was also removed from his seat by security after the incident with Wilson was de-escalated. But during Hammon’s postgame press conference, a reporter pointed out that the fan was later allowed to return to his seat, asking the head coach for her thoughts before Hammon called on the league to take action.
