Two of the WNBA's best young stars had to be separated during the second half of Saturday afternoon's season-opening contest between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky.

Here's a look at both the play and the resulting drama:

Clark was assessed a flagrant foul on the play, while both Reese and Clark's teammate, Aliyah Boston, received offsetting technical fouls.

As for the game itself, the Fever held a 20-point lead over the Sky in the third quarter, with Clark pouring in 14 points on 4 for 10 shooting and Reese tallying 10 of her own.

According to the New York Post, the WNBA will lost $40 million this season. This is the 26th-straight year where it will fail to turn a profit.

Never before has the professional women’s basketball league made a single dollar since it first came to exist in the spring of 1996.
