What happened: A'ja Wilson drew a technical foul after the baseline exchange in Indiana's home Game 2 against Las Vegas. Arena staff removed the courtside fan from his seat behind the basket. The Fever ruled no fan code of conduct violation and cleared him to return.

Why it matters: Indiana is facing elimination, raising the cost of any technical against Las Vegas's centerpiece. Clearing the fan quickly contained a courtside distraction and avoided further stoppage.

What to watch: Watch the remainder of Game 2 for any league follow-up on the technical and the atmosphere around Wilson's next touches.
