Caitlin Clark Poked in Eye and Bumped to Ground as Fever Reach Commissioner’s Cup Final After Chippy Win over Sun

The Indiana Fever defeated the Connecticut Sun 88-71 on June 17 in Indianapolis to reach the WNBA Commissioner's Cup Final scheduled for July 1.
The game's physical intensity peaked when Connecticut Sun's Jacy Sheldon accidentally jabbed Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever in the eye during a defensive attempt near the three-point line.
The incident escalated into a confrontation involving several players, during which Marina Mabrey forcefully knocked Clark down, resulting in technical fouls being assessed to Sheldon, Clark, Mabrey, and Sun center Tina Charles.
After review, officials escalated Sheldon's foul to a flagrant one, prompting Fever head coach Stephanie White to express frustration with the inconsistent officiating and emphasize the need for better game management.
The intense physicality and repeated conflicts raised concerns about player safety and league discipline, with several players facing potential fines affecting their earnings.
