WNBA standout Angel Reese is benched for one game due to accruing her 8th technical foul
Chicago Sky's Angel Reese Suspended for One Game
In a disappointing turn of events for the Chicago Sky, star player Angel Reese has been handed a mandatory one-game suspension by the WNBA. This comes after Reese picked up her eighth technical foul during the game against the Connecticut Sun.
The incident occurred near the end of the first half, casting a shadow over what was already a disappointing season for the Sky. With 30 losses and only 10 wins under their belt, the team is struggling to find their footing.
Reese's comments, which were taken out of context, were about the need for better players for the Chicago Sky in the offseason. She did not intend to put down her teammates with her previous comments. After Wednesday night's win, Reese apologized to her teammates for any misunderstanding caused.
Despite the suspension, Reese has had a standout season. She is leading the league with 12.6 rebounds per game and is averaging a career-high 14.6 points. Reese's performance against the Sun was no exception, as she finished the game with 18 points and 13 rebounds, marking her 23rd double-double against the Connecticut Sun.
Reese is also shooting a career-best 45.8% from the field this season. She has recorded one triple-double this season and was the No. 7 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft.
Unfortunately, another player from the Sky, Caitlin Clark, has also been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to injuries. Clark's absence, along with Reese's suspension, will likely put additional pressure on the remaining players to step up and deliver strong performances.
The suspension will take effect when the Chicago Sky visits the Indiana Fever on Friday. The Sky will be without Reese, but they will be looking to bounce back and secure a much-needed win. The team's performance will be closely watched as they continue their journey through the WNBA season.
