INDIANAPOLIS — Two fans sitting courtside were escorted off the court in the third quarter of the Indiana Fever's game against the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The incident happened at a break in the game at the 4:38 mark of the third quarter. Aces guard Jewell Loyd had just drawn an and-1 layup, and the two teams were setting up for her free-throw when players beckoned security toward people sitting courtside.
Aces guard Jackie Young was the one to point out the fans, talking to referees and security and pointing toward the sideline. It's unclear what the fans said or did, but security escorted one fan off the court first. She looked incredulous as she was escorted off, but she quickly returned.
Security then escorted off two fans sitting slightly further down the sideline, and they had not returned at the midway point of the fourth quarter.
