New Footage Emerges Of Angel Reese, Alyssa Thomas Incident

Angel Reese was recently involved in an altercation with Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun. Reese was hit with a hard foul and hit the deck, which led to a review and ejection of Thoams from the officiating crew.

While the hit that led to Thomas’ departure was going viral, a recent video revealed that Reese was pushed to the floor the play prior to taking that hit, via BullsKickA*** on X.

Reese spoke on the hit after the game, showing her maturity and poise as a rookie.

“They’re not supposed to be nice to me. I hope y’all know that. They’re not supposed to be nice to me or lay down because I’m Angel Reese or because I’m a rookie,” said Reese.
