Fever Fan Ejected From Game After Alleged Interaction With Sun's Saniya Rivers

A fan was ejected from Tuesday's Indiana Fever versus Connecticut Sun WNBA game at TD Garden after allegedly touching Sun guard Saniya Rivers, as reported by Sun sideline reporter Terrika Foster-Brasby.

The incident occurred in the second quarter. Security escorted the fan, who was wearing an Indiana Fever jersey, out of the arena. The ejection followed a timeout, as Rivers was preparing to inbound the ball. She instead engaged in a conversation with WNBA officials about an event that seemingly happened just prior.

Based on the officials' conversation with Rivers, a fan sitting courtside near the Sun bench was identified and subsequently removed. Social media reports (specifically from @TheNextHoops) indicated the fan was escorted out after reportedly saying something to or touching Rivers before she could inbound the basketball, prompting Rivers to alert the referees.

Announcers on the ESPN broadcast briefly mentioned the fan incident but did not provide specific details about what transpired between Rivers and the fan. The report suggests further clarification on the incident might be provided after the game.
