Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has been ejected for the first time in her young WNBA career, and an NBA player had something to say about it.
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball, who watched his first WNBA game, believed that her actions did not merit an ejection and even offered to cover any potential fine.
"Ref that threw out @Reese10Angel is weak btw... You know who you are (Keep ya money Angel I got you)," the 26-year-old posted on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
Reese received the first two technical fouls of her career, and she will be fined $300 per technical foul in accordance with WNBA regulations.
The former LSU Tigers star was ejected in the fourth quarter of their home game against the New York Liberty on Tuesday, June 4, at the Wintrust Arena.
Angel Reese was playing well before ejection
The 22-year-old did not agree with a call made with 2:31 left in the game and reportedly exclaimed, "That's bull**t," before a referee issued a double technical foul.
The 6-foot-3 forward tied her career high in points when she was ejected. She finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 24 minutes of play.
However, the Sky came up short against the 2023 WNBA Finals runners-up Liberty, losing 88-75.
