Fisticuffs took place on the court. A tense Wednesday night in the WNBA turned chaotic when a dust-up in the first half of the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun game left three players walking to the locker room early. What began as a routine foul suddenly became the night’s biggest storyline.

Connecticut’s Bria Harley and Chicago’s Rebecca Allen each received ejections for starting the scuffle, while the Sky’s Ariel Atkins’ night ended early “for being an escalator” after shoving Hartley and touching a referee, according to crew chief Angelia Suffern as reported by ESPN.

An on-court skirmish sparked a trio of ejections during a Connecticut Sun win over the Chicago Sky. Officials issued the ejections in the second quarter.
