UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Tempers flared early in the first half of Game 2 of the Indiana Fever–Connecticut Sun first round matchup on Wednesday with Caitlin Clark nearly getting into an altercation with veteran DeWanna Bonner after a no-call foul.

The newly crowned Rookie of the Year shoved Bonner out of apparent frustration with the official, but the interaction was over as quickly as it began. The two got into a verbal back and forth not long after, before Clark walked away.
The Sun led the Fever 17-14 by the end of the first quarter.
