Las Vegas Aces forward A\u2019ja Wilson will not face any league punishment for the incident that occurred in Game 2 of the team\u2019s first-round series against the Indiana Fever on Tuesday and will be eligible to play in the deciding game on Thursday.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the WNBA determined that Wilson was in the court area \u2014 known as the player escape lane \u2014 when she confronted a fan in the second row of the stands behind the Fever basket.<\/p>\n

The player escape lane is located adjacent to the stanchion and not in the stands and, after a review, game officials believed Wilson did not leave that area. Officials issued her a technical foul for \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct,\u201d but did not eject her from the game.<\/p>\n

Aces reserves Kalani Brown and Kierstan Bell, who left the bench area, would also not be disciplined, according to the reports.<\/p>\n

Wilson, the four-time WNBA Most Valuable Player, became involved with Fever forward Sophie Cunningham with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the Aces trailing, 90-79.<\/p>\n

The male fan rose and pointed at Wilson, who, in turn, approached and admonished him before teammates restrained her.<\/p>\n

The Fever won the game 99-89, setting up the series-deciding Game 3.<\/p>\n

A road victory by Indiana would dethrone the reigning WNBA champions. The winner advances to take on the winner of the Golden State-Dallas series, which is also tied at 1-all.<\/p>\n
