Angel Reese has been suspended for one recreation after she obtained her eighth technical foul of the season.

According to ESPN, the Chicago Sky ahead is not going to play on Friday (September 5) in opposition to the Indiana Fever.

Near the tip of the primary half within the Sky’s 88-64 win over Connecticut on Wednesday (September 3), Reese was issued a technical foul when she hit Aaliyah Edwards within the head as they battled for place below the basket. According to league guidelines, “players and coaches are suspended one game after receiving an eighth technical foul in the regular season — and one game for every two technicals after that.”

Following the sport, coach Tyler Marsh famous that the Sky would contest the technical foul and request a evaluate from the league.

Despite the technical foul, Reese performed one other robust recreation, ending with 18 factors and 13 rebounds for her twenty third double-double within the win.

Crew chief Randy Richardson shared his rationale for giving Reese the technical foul within the pool report after the sport.

“Yeah, so we had a flail on the court; so we had a non-call on the court and then we went to take a look at it and we deemed that to be a non-basketball act by Reese and we ended up calling the flail an unsportsmanlike technical foul,” Richardson mentioned.

“In addition to the suspension, Reese apologized to the Sky for criticizing the franchise and her teammates, saying some of her words were “taken out of context.” I believe the language is taken out of context. I actually didn’t deliberately imply to place down my teammates, as a result of they’ve been via this with me all through the entire yr,” Reese said. “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.”
