An on-court altercation led to three players being ejected Wednesday night in the Connecticut Sun's 71-62 win over the Chicago Sky at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The incident occurred at the 6:35 mark in the second quarter when the Sun's Bria Hartley and the Sky's Rebecca Allen were battling for a rebound. Allen appeared to grab the right arm of Hartley, who responded by shoving Allen to the ground. Allen then grabbed Hartley by her jersey.
As officials stepped in to separate the two players, Sky guard Ariel Atkins joined the fray, pushing Hartley while also making contact with a referee.
After a review that delayed the game for about 10 minutes, Hartley and Allen were ejected for fighting and Atkins was ejected "for being an escalator," according to crew chief
