Two fans were escorted out of the building during the Indiana Fever vs. Las Vegas Aces game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Thursday night.
As Aces guard Jewell Loyd lined up for a free throw after a 3-point play with 4:38 remaining in the third quarter, she and teammate Jackie Young began gesturing toward the sideline.

Young spoke with officials, who appeared to make multiple checks with security before two fans were escorted out of the building.
USA TODAY has reached out to Aces, Fever and WNBA representatives asking why the fans were ejected.
An Aces spokesperson said it appeared the ejected fans directed inappropriate comments toward Young, but that specifics would not be determined until after the final buzzer.
This story will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
