A WNBA fan ejection incident interrupted the Aces vs Fever matchup in Indianapolis on Thursday night. Two men seated near the Aces bench were escorted out after standout guard Jackie Young flagged them to officials.
Las Vegas went on to win 86-84 in overtime.

The stoppage came with 4:38 left in the third quarter. Play paused for several minutes while security worked through the sideline. A woman in the front row was briefly walked out then returned to her seat. Shortly afterwards, two men near her were removed.
Young addressed the interaction after the Las Vegas win. "He was just chirping all game. I let him have it, and then he just made one that was a little bit too far," she told reporters. She declined to repeat the specific comment the fan made.
An Aces spokesperson said the fans had directed inappropriate remarks at Young. Still, the Fever later stated that security found no Code of Conduct violation, and that the fan chose to leave on his own.
On the court, A'ja Wilson posted 26 points and 13 rebounds. Young added 22, including a franchise-record 15 straight across halves. Chelsea Gray subsequently hit two clutch 3-pointers to force overtime and, later, win the game.
