Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese was ejected late in the fourth quarter of her team’s 88-75 defeat by the New York Liberty on Tuesday after receiving back-to-back technical fouls.
Reese earned her first technical after she appeared to say something to referee Charles Watson following a foul call, before being hit with the second for waving her hand as she walked away. The WNBA pool report states Reese received the technical fouls for “disrespectfully” addressing the official and then for waiving off the referee “in resentment to the call.” “She said something to the ref,” Sky guard Marina Mabrey told reporters. “Whatever he felt like was the correct call is what he made.
Breanna Stewart had a huge game for the Liberty, putting up a game high 33 points to go with 14 rebounds and three assists. It was the first game the Sky had played since Chennedy Carter was given a flagrant foul for a bump on Clark during a stoppage in play. The WNBA’s ‘turning point’? Meanwhile, tennis great Billie Jean King likened Clark’s impact on WNBA to that of Chris Evert’s on women’s tennis back in the 1970s. King said the current rookie class “has a chance to set this league on fire.
