But he was asked to leave after an apparent incident involving Sun player Saniya Rivers.
It happened during the second quarter of the heated game at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
A reportedly upset Rivers stopped to approach a referee and alert them to something that happened on the side line.
Arena security then arrived to remove the fan sat in the front row.
The moment was referenced on ESPN’s live broadcast of the game.
“A fan is being escorted out of the building,” commentator Pam Ward said.
“A fan that was close to the Sun bench. So that was the reason for that delay.”
According to reporters at the arena, Connecticut Sun PR confirmed that the fan said something inappropriate.
He was alleged to have “made a comment that warranted ejection.”
Rivers was said to have laughed off the flash point after the game.
She joked that the fan wasted money on good seats only to get kicked out.
Fans booed and waved goodbye at the spectator as he left the arena.
The last Fever and Sun clash saw some heated moments between players.
Clark was shoved to the ground by teammates in an ugly incident on June 17.
There was also a brawl involving Sophie Cunningham late in that game.
Three players were ejected in total.
Tuesday’s clash saw the Indiana Fever run out 85-77 winners.
The game passed by with less heated moments than last month’s clash.
But Clark was seen raging towards an official during one moment.
And Cunningham sent a message to her fans on X after apparently taking an elbow to the head.
