Expect fireworks when the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun face off for the fourth time this season on Sunday.
The Sun took the first regular-season matchup 85-83 on May 30. The Fever bounced back and defeated the Sun 88-71 on June 17, but tempers flared and multiple scuffles broke out. Indiana’s Caitlin Clark and Connecticut’s Jacy Sheldon had a heated exchange after Sheldon made incidental contact with Clark’s face and Clark pushed Sheldon. The Sun’s Marina Mabrey jumped in and shoved Clark down on the floor. A flagrant foul was called on Sheldon, while Clark, Mabrey and Connecticut center Tina Charles were each charged with a technical foul.

Later in the game, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham committed a hard foul on Sheldon. Sheldon and teammate Lindsay Allen immediately confronted Cunningham and more words were exchanged before being separated by officials. Cunningham, Sheldon and Allen were all ejected from the game.
Sheldon has since been traded to the Washington Mystics.

The Fever and Sun last faced off on July 15, with Indiana coming away with a 85-77 win. But the Fever’s celebration was short-lived after Clark injured her right groin in the final minute of the matchup. Clark has been sidelined since and has missed 12 consecutive games. Sunday will likely mark her 13th straight absence.
