A’ja Wilson became the latest WNBA player to have an incident with an Indiana Fever fan.
Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces played on Tuesday in Game 2 of their best-of-three first-round playoff series against the Fever. The contest took place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind.
During the fourth quarter of the game, the Aces star Wilson walked over to confront a fan amid a stoppage in play. The fan was sitting behind the basket, and Wilson had to be held back by her teammates and coaches as she was angrily chastising the fan.
Wilson was ultimately given a technical foul for the incident, and the fan in question also ended up getting ejected from their seat. Here is the video of the episode.

The 30-year-old Wilson is a four-time WNBA MVP who is widely regarded as the greatest player of her generation. But on Tuesday, it was the Fever who got the 99-89 victory over the Aces to even their series at one game apiece.
Meanwhile, Wilson is not even the first player on her own team to have a heated incident with a Fever fan. Just last month, Aces All-Star guard Jackie Young also had a fan ejected from a courtside seat during a regular season game in Indiana.
