During a recent game between the Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun, Angel Reese had a strong reaction to Alyssa Thomas’ foul and subsequent ejection. Despite the physical play that led to Thomas’ ejection, Reese expressed her gratitude to Thomas for the hard foul, saying that players weren’t supposed to be nice to her and thanking Thomas for sending a message that motivated her to keep going.
The foul occurred during a contested rebound, with Thomas using one arm to knock Reese to the floor. Despite the rough play, Reese was able to get back up and continue playing. Looking ahead, the Chicago Sky will face the Seattle Storm at Wintrust Arena on Tuesday evening, with tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m. The team will aim to bounce back from the recent loss and secure a victory in front of their home crowd. In the end, the Connecticut Sun emerged victorious with an 86-82 win over the Chicago Sky.
