  "account": "In Game 2 of the Aces vs Fever playoff series, Aja Wilson of the Aces confronted an Indiana Fever fan, leading to a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. However, teammate Sophie Cunningham, a four-time WNBA MVP and champion, argued that Wilson's actions should not result in suspension, comparing her to basketball legend LeBron James. Cunningham also stated that the team wanted Wilson to remain in the game for the best basketball possible. The Indiana Fever dismissed the fan's actions as not violating their rules and would not investigate further.",
  "summary": "Cunningham said on \"No Hesitation\" that Wilson's behavior could have been cause for suspension: \"But she's like the LeBron James of our league, and, so, of course they're not going to suspend her.\"",
