Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky have had a challenging start to the 2025 WNBA season, currently holding a 7-14 record following their recent loss to the Minnesota Lynx. Ahead of the upcoming WNBA All-Star break, the Sky will host the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday afternoon, although Britney Greener will miss the game due to a leg injury.<\/p>\n
Despite the team’s difficulties, Reese has delivered an impressive second season in the league. The former LSU Tigers forward is averaging 14 points per game with a 44.6% shooting accuracy and leads the league with 12.6 rebounds per game, earning her second All-Star selection. Reese also leads the WNBA in technical fouls, having accumulated six so far this season. In a recent game against the Washington Mystics on July 8, Reese and Shakira Austin both received double technical fouls.<\/p>\n
Players who receive seven technical fouls in a season are typically suspended for one game without pay, but following the WNBA’s expansion from a 40-game to a 44-game schedule, the threshold has increased to eight technical fouls, as confirmed by indie star Chloe Peterson. Further technical fouls beyond this will result in additional suspensions and heavier fines.<\/p>\n
Reese is currently just two fouls shy of suspension after receiving a total of six technical fouls over 21 games, along with fines amounting to $1,800 ($200 each for the first three technicals and $400 for each of the next three). Two other players, Austin and Dream star Alicia Gray, are also close to suspension, with five and four technical fouls respectively.<\/p>\n
The Chicago Sky will face the Dream at Wintrust Arena on Wednesday at noon. Reese is set to join Nafisa Collier’s All-Star team to compete against Kate Linklark’s team at 8:30 pm on Saturday in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
Fan Take: Angel Reese’s strong on-court performance paired with her disciplinary challenges highlight both her intensity and impact in the league. For WNBA fans, her presence in the All-Star game and her competitive edge are vital for the sport\u2019s excitement and growth, signaling the rise of a formidable talent shaping the future of women\u2019s basketball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
