Angel Reese faces one‑game suspension after 8th technical foul

sportsAug 28, 202615114

Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese was assessed her eighth technical foul of the season after being seen pushing a player following a Dream three-pointer, and now faces an automatic one-game suspension if the call is not rescinded. Reese entered the Portland Fire game tied for the WNBA lead in technical fouls with seven and had tied the league record for most double-doubles in a season at 28, matching Alyssa Thomas. Entering the Fire game she was averaging 16.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 steals across 37 appearances. The article credits Reese with recently breaking WNBA records for rebounds in a game and in a season and calls her a defensive force in the paint for Atlanta. The timing complicates Atlanta’s stretch run because the Dream travel to face the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday before the World Cup break, a matchup the piece calls crucial for momentum and postseason positioning. Atlanta has the newly signed veteran DeWanna Bonner available and the team may shift her into the rotation to help replace Reese’s rebounding and interior presence if the suspension stands.

Emily Engstler just had the ninth game in WNBA history with 25+pts/4+stls/4+blks. Joins Swoopes, Leslie (x2), Catchings, Stewart, COgwumike, Fowles and Wilson. Nice list to add yourself to. #WNBA

Angel Reese just got her 8th technical foul of the season. That’s a 1-game suspension for Reese, if it stands. (1/2)

This may be one where you just tip your cap if you're Atlanta because Portland has just outplayed them in every facet of the game. The bad news? The Lynx await on Sunday and the Dream will fall behind the Fever if they lose this game tonight. #WNBA

They are gonna do their best to make the Dream and Fever have to face each other in the playoffs and it's gonna suck because I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from watching. I'll have to watch it on mute....but even the thought of watching that team makes me feel sick. #wnba #thew

If the technical foul stands this would be her 8th and a 1 game suspension for Angel Reese. It feels a little soft to me. Especially since the officials have shown the ability to tip-toe.

Basketball Fan, of the Sixers and LeBron James lmao!4

Lmaoooo that is not a technical foul. It’s barely a regular foul!

This feels soft to me but idk if it's enough to get rescinded.

Put this in the “correlation is not causation but still…” files: Allisha Gray does not do well with being perceived. Every time she wins an award or has a high profile publication about her, she has a bad game. Maybe it’s the opponents adapting, maybe she gets self conscious but every time. #wnba

Angel Reese Jr. is one of the greatest hoopers to ever live. Below is a graphic of Angel Reese Jr. looking bad ass, while showing that she has tied the record for the most double doubles in a season (28). #wnba
