Angel Reese continues to prove that she is one of the most talked-about players in women’s basketball, even in the WNBA offseason. During an Unrivaled league game, the Chicago Sky forward was ejected after a misunderstanding with a referee, marking the first ejection in the league’s history.
Reese’s competitive fire was on display when she celebrated a defensive play against Tiffany Hayes. However, a referee misinterpreted her gesture as being directed at him, leading to a technical foul. Her attempt to argue the call resulted in a second technical and an automatic ejection. Despite her absence, Rose BC secured an 83-69 victory over Laces BC, with Reese contributing six points and a game-high 15 rebounds in just seven minutes.
Following the ejection, Reese took to social media, posting “sayless” and celebrating her team’s win. She also acknowledged making history with her ejection, tying it to Black History Month. When Sports Illustrated reported on the moment, she called their coverage “clickbait,” reinforcing how her every move sparks viral reactions.
Reese, who was an All-Star and the WNBA’s leading rebounder as a rookie, has built a reputation as both a dominant player and an outspoken personality. Her presence in Unrivaled, especially amid Caitlin Clark’s decision to skip the league, shows that she remains a major draw for fans. Whether on the court or online, Reese continues to fuel conversations in women’s basketball.
