As Cunningham protested the foul, a fan seated behind the baseline stood up and pointed at Wilson.Wilson stepped toward the fan and said, "You don't point at me, you don't point at me." As the fan started to sit back down, Aces players Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young came over to pull away Wilson, as did Las Vegas' Kierstan Bell, who left the bench to do so.The source noted that Wilson remained in the designated court area during the incident and did not step into the stands. The officials gave Wilson a technical foul but concluded no ejection was needed, and the league followed in ruling that no other penalties would be given.The fan was escorted out of the arena bowl but was allowed back in and took his seat, with the Fever saying arena security spoke with the fan involved as well as witnesses and allowed him to return because "there was no violation of the Fan Code of Conduct."In the Aces' postgame news conference, Wilson called the fan's actions "unacceptable" and said she was surprised he was allowed to return to his seat."I try to play my game ... but if I am just walking, just got the foul, I'm chilling and I see a man come at me, taking steps toward me and pointing at me, I don't give a damn what you said," she said. "I don't give a damn how you said it, the tone. That is unacceptable. You don't step toward me. You never should sit and point at me. That there is unacceptable."Wilson said she apologized to her teammates for receiving a technical, "but it's just certain things that I'm not going to allow anymore.""You don't know me at all," she said. "To come and step toward me and point at me and say anything ... 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 will respect me."A WNBA spokesperson had said after the game that the incident would be reviewed.Game 3 of the Aces-Fever series is Thursday in Las Vegas, with the winner advancing to face the winner of the Dallas Wings-Golden State Valkyries series.ESPN's Alexa Philippou and Michael Voepel contributed to this report.
