The polarising Marina Mabrey can\u2019t be stopped. The fiery Connecticut Sun star always manages to find herself in a controversy of some kind. Often, she is the main subject. Remember the Caitlin Clark incident? After Jacy Sheldon poked Clark in the eye, she retaliated. Mabrey came from nowhere to knock Clark to the floor. That was the ignition to the brawl that erupted later. Now, Mabrey has found herself in another such situation, this time in Unrivaled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Playing for the Lunar Owls against the Breeze, it was a close game. Breeze, led by Paige Bueckers, Dominique Malong, and Rickea Jackson were up 36-30. Jackson had the ball on the wing. Like the great driver she is, the Sparks star tried to go to the rim when Marina Mabrey rammed into her. Jackson immediately went down and was there for a while. She was examined by the medical staff on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, for her to stay down, she probably felt it,\u201d the broadcaster said on air. Jackson did not look happy with the foul as she talked with the referees from the bench. This was not the first time Mabrey has been involved in Unrivaled this season<\/a>. On the opening night, she shoved Sug Sutton. A common foul was called on Sutton, while Mabrey, Sutton, and Austin were all assessed technical fouls. This time around, it was a common foul for Mabrey. The incident once again brought Mabrey\u2019s contentious nature under scrutiny. However, some fans advocated for the Lunar Owls\u2019 star as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n Marina Mabrey \u2013Rickea Jackson Dust-Up Sparks Fan Debate<\/p>\n \u201cWtf is wrong with Marina Mabrey, man. How many dirty plays is she gonna have in her career ?? \ud83d\udea8\u201d asked a fan. Mabrey is used to such rough situations. Her fiery nature invites such clashes. In the WNBA, there are few players she hasn\u2019t scuffled with. Just three days ago, Mabrey clashed with Courtney Williams after they got tied up getting a rebound. Both Mabrey and Williams were assessed a technical foul on the play.<\/p>\n But, atleast as far as public information goes, Mabrey does not have any personal enmity with any player. Mabrey even admitted to overreacting in the Caitlin Clark incident. \u201cMe and Caitlin were cool,\u201d she said. \u201cMe and Caitlin have competed against each other in the playoffs. She threw me into the benches in the quarterfinals. We didn\u2019t go after her for it. She\u2019s competitive, and I was about to get the ball. I get it. Throw me out of bounds. We got back up and kept competing.\u201d However, some fans still feel there should be some penalty for such repeated incidents.\u00a0<\/p>\n You say that as if there\u2019s some kind of limit. The W has so many things going for it today. Thug basketball like this is not one of those things. Let the suspensions begin, no excuses.<\/p>\n
