In a disappointing turn of events, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese was ejected from the game in the team's 88-75 loss to the New York Liberty on Tuesday at Wintrust Arena. The incident occurred with just 2 minutes and 31 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
Reese found herself in hot water after being called for a personal foul while attempting to grab a rebound. Unhappy with the decision, she engaged in a heated argument with the referee, Charles Watson. This led to Reese being slapped with two technical fouls and ultimately being ejected from the game.
At the time of Reese's ejection, the Sky were trailing the Liberty with a score of 82-71. Despite the unfortunate episode, Reese managed to record her second double-double career performance during her 24 minutes on the court. She scored 15 points, albeit on 3-of-12 shooting, and grabbed an impressive 10 rebounds.
The loss to the Liberty is a setback for the Chicago Sky, but they will have a chance to bounce back when they take on the Washington Mystics at Capital One Arena on Thursday. Reese and her teammates will be eager to prove their resilience and redeem themselves after the tough defeat.
It remains to be seen whether any repercussions or disciplinary actions will be taken regarding Reese's ejection. Fans and analysts will be closely watching the situation unfold as the Chicago Sky continue their pursuit of victory in the WNBA season.
