During the Chicago Sky’s game against the Connecticut Sun, rookie Angel Reese was ejected after a flagrant-two foul committed by Alyssa Thomas. Reese expressed gratitude towards Thomas for sending a message with her hard foul, and emphasized that players should not be nice to her on the court. Despite being upset about the incident, Reese made it clear that there were no hard feelings towards Thomas, and she remained in the game to contribute 13 points and five rebounds. Unfortunately, the Sky fell short in their home opener, losing to the Sun by a narrow margin.
With their loss, Chicago is now 2-2 on the season while Connecticut maintained its perfect 5-0 record. The Sky will have an opportunity to bounce back in their next game against the Seattle Storm at Wintrust Arena on Tuesday night, with tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m.
