On-Court WNBA Tussle Leads to Three Ejections in Sun Win vs. Sky
Three players were ejected after a fight during the game, with the Connecticut Sun winning 71-62 despite Chicago Sky playing with only eight players in the second half.
- On August 14, 2025, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut Sun guard Bria Hartley, Chicago Sky guards Rebecca Allen and forward Ariel Atkins were ejected after a skirmish, and the Sun won 71-62.
- It began in the second quarter when Hartley and Allen tangled for a rebound at the 6:35 mark while the Sun led 27-21, and coach Tyler Marsh noted an earlier uncalled elbow fueled the altercation.
- After a review delayed play for about 10 minutes, crew chief Angelica Suffren said Atkins was ejected for 'being an escalator' after pushing Hartley and contacting a referee.
- Strapped by ejections and injuries, the Sky had only eight players available in the second half after Atkins and Vandersloot were sidelined with injuries, extending their losing streak to 11 of 12 games.
- The Sky will host the Golden State Valkyries at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Chicago, then face the Indiana Fever at 1 p.m. EDT Sunday in Uncasville, with 12 games remaining.
