Aces star A’ja Wilson calls the words and actions of a Fever fan in Game 2 of series ‘unacceptable’

INDIANA (AP) — Caitlin Clark delivered an exceptional performance, tallying 27 points and 15 assists, while breaking a new league record. Kelsey Mitchell contributed 26 points as the sixth-seeded Indiana Fever secured a 99-89 victory over the defending WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces. This hard-fought win kept the Fever’s postseason alive.

Clark etched her name in history as the first player in league history to achieve a points-assists double-double in the first half of a playoff game, scoring 14 points and dishing out 11 assists in the opening 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the game was marred by an incident involving A’ja Wilson, who exchanged words with a fan following a foul call on teammate Sophie Cunningham.

The confrontation led to a technical foul for Wilson, who remained on the court despite the altercation. The man involved was removed by security after the Fever took a 90-79 lead with 4:10 remaining in the contest.
