Chicago Sky Star Angel Reese Reportedly Staring Down a Potential WNBA Suspension

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is nearing a WNBA suspension after receiving her seventh technical foul of the season during a loss to the Minnesota Lynx. The incident occurred in the first quarter following Reese's interaction with referees after a foul by Lynx player Maria Kliundikova. Reese leads the league in technical fouls, having accumulated seven in just 22 games.

Reese also drew a technical in the season opener against the Indiana Fever during a contentious play involving Caitlin Clark. According to WNBA rules, an eighth technical foul triggers an automatic one-game suspension. This poses a significant risk for the struggling Sky (7-16 record), as Reese is their second-leading scorer and passer, and the league's top rebounder.

Despite the disciplinary concerns, Reese is having a standout season: she recorded 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 assists in the Lynx game (her 10th consecutive double-double), while improving her field goal percentage to 44.8%. Over her last four games, she's averaged 16.7 points and 10.7 rebounds, leading the WNBA in rebounds with 18 double-doubles overall—a sharp contrast to her four technical fouls total last season.
