Reese picked up a technical near the end of the
first half in the Sky's 88-64 win over Connecticut on Wednesday,
when she hit Aaliyah Edwards in the head as they fought for
rebounding position in the paint. League rules state players and
coaches are suspended one game after picking up an eighth
technical fouls in the regular season — and one game for every
two technicals after that.
Reese finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds for her 23rd
double-double against Connecticut, helping the Sky snap a
four-game skid.
The two-time All-Star did that after voicing her frustrations
with the franchise, telling the Chicago Tribune that she “might
have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me”
if the team doesn’t improve its outlook. She walked back those
comments after the game and said she had already apologized to
the team. The Sky are 10-30.
Reese, who was the No. 7 pick in the WNBA draft last season, is
averaging 14.7 points and and a league-best 12.6 rebounds. She
has at least one more season on her rookie contract.
