WNBA fans aren't ready to move on from the heated altercations they witnessed during Tuesday night's game between the Connecticut Sun and Indiana Fever.    

Things truly took an ugly turn in the third quarter. It all started with Jacy Sheldon accidentally poking Caitlin Clark in the eye as she was reaching in for the basketball.  Clark, who had an issue with Sheldon's hard foul, let her know about it. Just seconds after she started chirping at Sheldon though, she got shoved to the floor by Marina Mabrey. 

Although it was a really wild scene, the WNBA opted not to eject Mabrey for her actions. 

"The contact made by Mabrey did not rise to the level of an ejection," WNBA crew chief Ashley Gloss said. "Additionally, [it] did not meet the criteria for a flagrant foul penalty two."

While plenty of people have offered their thoughts on Clark's altercation with Mabrey, the conversation is about to get louder due to new footage. 

A fan who attended Tuesday night's game shared a clip of Mabrey pushing Clark. It's not a good look for the veteran forward. 

Check it out: 

Clark hasn't said anything about Mabrey's actions. At least not yet.

"At the end of the day, I'm here to play basketball," Clark told reporters during her postgame press conference."My game's gonna talk and that's all that really matters." 

Clark wasn't willing to criticize the refs for how they handled Tuesday night's altercation. Fever head coach Stephanie White, however, had no problem calling out the league's officiating.  

"I think it was pretty obvious that stuff was brewing, right? When the officials don't get control of the ballgame, when they allow that stuff to happen, and it's been happening all season long, all season long... It's not just this game. It's been happening all season long," White told reporters. "You've got competitive women who are the best in the world at what they do, and when you allow them to play physical, and you allow these things to happen, they're going to compete, and they're going to have their teammates' backs.

"It's exactly what you expect out of fierce competition. I started talking to the officials in the first quarter, and we knew this was going to happen. You could tell it was going to happen. So they got to get control of it. They got to be better."

The WNBA has not yet disciplined anyone involved in the Fever-Sun scuffle.
