CHICAGO (AP) — Sky star Angel Reese was handed a compulsory one-game suspension by the WNBA on Thursday for selecting up her eighth technical foul and won’t play when Chicago faces the Indiana Fever on Friday.
Reese picked up a technical close to the tip of the primary half within the Sky’s 88-64 win over Connecticut on Wednesday, when she hit Aaliyah Edwards within the head as they fought for rebounding place within the paint. League guidelines state gamers and coaches are suspended one sport after choosing up an eighth technical fouls within the common season — and one sport for each two technicals after that.
Reese completed with 18 factors and 13 rebounds for her twenty third double-double in opposition to Connecticut, serving to the Sky snap a four-game skid.
The two-time All-Star did that after voicing her frustrations with the franchise, telling the Chicago Tribune that she “might need to maneuver in a special course and do what’s finest for me” if the staff doesn’t enhance its outlook. She walked again these feedback after the sport and stated she had already apologized to the staff. The Sky are 10-30.
Reese, who was the No. 7 choose within the WNBA draft final season, is averaging 14.7 factors and and a league-best 12.6 rebounds. She has at the least yet another season on her rookie contract.
