Fever fans got more than just A’ja Wilson fired up.
In the immediate aftermath of the Aces star’s heated confrontation with a Fever fan during fourth quarter of the first-round playoff game Tuesday night, Wilson’s teammates and Las Vegas staff rushed over to the baseline at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to defuse the situation.
Two of those people included Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance, both of whom are not currently active WNBA players but are former teammates of Wilson.
In a new video that shows a different angle of the incident during the No. 6-seeded Fever’s 99-89 series-tying Game 2 victory, Colson and Plaisance can be seen coming over from their courtside seats to be among the chaos.
The two were later escorted away from the area by those who appeared to be arena staff.
Yet, as the “Unsupervised” podcast hosts made their way back to their seats, a man in a red Fever shirt gestured and said something to Colson and Plaisance. The latter spoke back, pointing at him.
Another vial clip showed Colson, who played for the Fever in 2025, being held back by an arena staff member as she appears to address the particular fan, seemingly saying “Who do you think you are? Bitch, who the f–k do you think you are?”
As Colson and Plaisance were escorted from the court by staff and security, Plaisance appeared to call the fan “a little bitch boy.”
The friends were mic’d up for the playoff game, serving as player contributors to Amazon’s “WNBA on Prime” coverage.
It’s unclear if they came back to their seats to watch the end of the game nor if something happened to the fan who appeared to confront them.
The heated exchanged sparked from Wilson’s jabbing with a Fever fan, who called out the four-time MVP for being responsible for a foul that was called on Sophie Cunningham.
Wilson was assessed a technical foul for the incident and said Fever fan was not removed from the arena.
“Following a report of a comment directed toward a player, arena security spoke with the fan involved and witnesses,” the Fever said in a statement. “Security determined there was no violation of the Fan Code of Conduct, the fan was not removed from the arena. We consider the matter closed.”
Plaisance, a forward with 10 WNBA seasons under her belt, shared one season with Colson and Wilson on the Aces in 2022 that ended with a championship trophy over the Connecticut Sun.
Colson, an 11-year veteran guard, shared the court with Wilson for five seasons, which included two WNBA titles.
The two inactive players seemed to get fired up for their former teammate, who called the fan’s behavior “unacceptable.”
“If I see a man come at me, taking steps toward me and 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 know me to step toward me and point at me. I’m not for that s–t at all. … That there is unacceptable. How he gets back in the game because they said he didn’t do anything, of course he did.”
The series moves on to a decisive Game 3 in Las Vegas on Thursday night.
