All basketball eyes will be on Game 3 of the Las Vegas Aces vs. Indiana Fever first round WNBA playoffs series on Thursday night.
The Aces and the Fever are tied, 1-1, heading into Game 3. Game 2 was eventful, with A’ja Wilson’s heated interaction with an Indiana Fever fan, who “pointed” at her following a foul call in the fourth quarter.
Wilson was hit with a technical foul, but she wasn’t ejected. She will not be suspended or disciplined for Game 3.
“If I see a man come at me, taking steps toward me and pointing at me, I don’t give a damn what you said. I don’t give a damn how you said it, the tone, that is unacceptable,” Wilson said after the game. “You don’t know me to step toward me and point at me. I’m not for that (expletive) at all … That there is unacceptable. How he gets back in the game because they said he didn’t do anything, of course he did.”
Wilson is vowing to not change her behavior.
“It’s just certain things that I’m not going to allow anymore, because it’s unacceptable,” she said. “You don’t know me at all to come and step toward me and point at me and say anything.”

Clark’s longtime boyfriend, American basketball coach Connor McCaffery, is ready for Game 3. He posted on his Instagram Story, hyping up Clark’s Nike shoe release, earlier on Thursday.
He’ll be watching with a close eye on Thursday night, for sure.
McCaffery, who played collegiately at Iowa, is currently serving as the player development assistant for the Noblesville Boom of the NBA G League.
The former college hoops player last posted on Instagram on his anniversary with Clark.
“3 years with the most beautiful best friend ❤️♾️,” he celebrated.
The basketball coach is obviously extremely proud to be dating Clark.
“Happy 24th CC 🖤 celebrating you is a privilege and I’m so grateful for the laughter and joy you bring to our everyday lives ♾️ 2026 has so much in store for you 👀 I love you 🖤,” he shared earlier this year.
