The Chicago Sky shall be with out Angel Reese for his or her showdown in opposition to the Indiana Fever Friday night time — the second-year participant was formally suspended after choosing up her eighth technical foul of the season.
The punishment was introduced by the WNBA on Thursday … with the league stating each time a participant or coach receives their eighth technical foul throughout the common season, they’re robotically handed a one-game ban.
Reese picked up her league-leading tech throughout the Sky’s matchup in opposition to the Connecticut Solar on Tuesday. It occurred after the 23-year-old hit Aaliyah Edwards within the head as they have been preventing for a rebound.
There was an opportunity the decision might have been rescinded … however the powers that be determined to uphold the ref’s choice.
It has been a tough week for Reese — she needed to apologize to her teammates and the entrance workplace after seemingly knocking them in an interview amid the workforce’s 11-30 file.
“I think the language is taken out of context,” she mentioned. “I really didn’t intentionally mean to put down my teammates, because they’ve been through this with me throughout the whole year. They’ve busted their ass just how I busted my ass.”
“I want to apologize to my teammates, which I already have about the article and how it was misconstrued about what was said, and I just have to be better with my language, because I know, it’s not the message, it’s the messenger.”
Angel is eligible to return for Chicago’s subsequent recreation on September 7 … when the Sky journey to Las Vegas to tackle the Aces.
