Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has received a lot of backlash in the last few days following Saturday’s game against Clark’s fever. Now, she is back in the headlines after a bizarre incident, this time with the match referee.
Reese was ejected from Sky’s game against the New York Liberty for waiving off the referee for a call she didn’t like. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter, with the Sky trailing. Reese received a technical foul for an aggressive defense against a Liberty player.
