A’ja Wilson explains altercation with fan
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Aces star center A’ja Wilson went into the stands in the fourth quarter during an altercation with a fan.
She explained what went into the situation after the game.
“If I see a man come at me, taking steps towards me a
nd pointing at me, I don’t give a damn what you said, I don’t give a damn how you said it, the tone, that is unacceptable,” Wilson said. “You don’t step towards me and point at me. I’m not pointing at (expletive) at all. Excuse my French and God bless me. But that there, it’s unacceptable. And how he gets back in the game because they said he didn’t do anything, of course he did. And that’s fine. And I apologized to my team, because I got us a tech. But it’s just certain things that I’m just not going to allow anymore, because it’s just unacceptable. You don’t know me at all and to come and step towards me and point at me, and say anything out your mouth to me… and you don’t have to like me, you don’t have to love me, you can hate me with all your heart, but you don’t know me. But I guarantee you, you will respect me.”
A Fever spokesperson shared a statement on the incident: “We had security look into it. There was found no violation of fan code of conduct, therefore the fan was allowed back in.”
The Fever beat the Aces in Game 2 on Tuesday, 99-89, to force a winner-take-all Game 3 in the first round of the WNBA Playoffs.
