Angel Reese’s second technical foul in Tuesday’s game has been rescinded by the WNBA. But the scrutiny remains intense for the Chicago Sky rookie.
By Cindy Boren, The Washington PostIndiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston, right, and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese scramble for the ball after falling to the court during the first half of a WNBA basketball game Saturday, June 1, 2024, in Indianapolis.
The Sky’s game on Tuesday offered no relief from the attention for Reese, who was ejected in the fourth quarter of Chicago’s loss to the New York Liberty when referee Charles Watson called her for a foul on Jonquel Jones. Reese argued slightly, then waved toward him — a sequence that drew a fast double technical and sent her to the locker room. According to the WNBA pool report, she “disrespectfully” addressed him and then waved off the referee “in resentment to the call.
WNBA players are fined $200 for each of their first three technical fouls in a season and Reese previously was fined $1,000 for declining to comply with mandated media availability Saturday after Clark’s Indiana Fever beat the Sky by a point. Reese had been shown applauding from the bench when teammate Chennedy Carter’s shoulder check sent Clark sprawling.
