New Video of Caitlin Clark, Marina Mabrey Shove Turning Heads

New Video of Caitlin Clark, Marina Mabrey Shove Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Caitlin Clark was the center of attention when the Indiana Fever met the Connecticut Sun in a game to help determine who would make the final of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup.

The Fever won 88-71, but the Sun players did not make it easy on Clark, who finished with 20 points and six assists in her second game back from a quad injury. 

Jacy Sheldon, a guard for the Sun whose rivalry with Clark dates back to their battles in the Big Ten with Ohio State and Iowa, got chippy with the Fever star early on. 

Sheldon prompted a scuffle when she poked Clark in the eye in the third quarter, and Connecticut guard Marina Mabrey followed up by shoving Clark to the ground.

The play was wild enough in the moment, but compared to a clear video taken by a fan inside the stadium, the broadcast angle hardly did it justice.

"This angle is crazy," said a fan.

"This is infuriating," wrote another.

It was ridiculous..but from this angle it’s even more ridiculous.— T.Hang 💚🐍💚 (@tiffhang) June 18, 2025

"Man ... 3 things all in succession," observed an X user. "Caitlin being pinballed around. This was a bit extreme."

"How were there no ejections after this?!" wondered a viewer.

how this wasn’t an ejection i will never understand. and caitlin’s technical should be rescinded https://t.co/SEgiPfJOMf— correlation (@nosyone4) June 18, 2025

Sheldon was assessed a flagrant foul 1 for the unnecessary contact to Clark's head, but Mabrey got away with just a technical foul for the shove, which the crew chief explained "did not rise to the level of an ejection."

Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, on the other hand, would not escape an ejection late in the fourth quarter. She defended Clark by getting revenge on Sheldon with a hard foul in transition that was elevated to a flagrant 2, leading to a fight underneath the basket and two other ejections.

Indiana will meet the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup final on July 1, but they are back in action on Thursday against the Golden State Valkyries.
