Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has received a lot of backlash in the last few days following Saturday’s game against Clark’s fever. Now, she is back in the headlines after a bizarre incident, this time with the match referee.

Reese was ejected from Sky’s game against the New York Liberty for waiving off the referee for a call she didn’t like. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter, with the Sky trailing. Reese received a technical foul for an aggressive defense against a Liberty player.

However, the No. 7 overall pick was not happy with the call and showed a waive-off gesture to the referee in frustration, which led to a second technical foul and ejection.

Despite the ejection, Reese had a good outing, finishing with 13 points and 10 rebounds. However, it was not enough as Liberty cruised to an 88-75 victory.

Social Media Lashes Out After Controversial Foul

After the shocking ejection from tonight’s game, social media was into action as they lashed out at the referee for a harsh call.

Last week, the young WNBA sensation and her teammate, Chennedy Carter, were at the center of a controversy after the latter did a hip-check to push Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark onto the ground, while Reese jumped off the bench to applaud.

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have had a contrasting start to their WNBA careers. While Caitlin has suffered 6 defeats in 7 games with her Indiana Fever side, Reese had a better start with a 2-2 record with Chicago Sky.

After Sky beat the unstoppable Liberty on Thursday night, the former LSU forward took to social media and seemingly took a shot at Caitlin Clark. In a deleted X (formerly known as Twitter) post she wrote, “And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area not just ’cause of one player on our charter flight.”

After the post, the 22-year-old faced a backlash from the fans, which led to the deletion. While the fans were at it expressing their disapproval of her cheeky jibe, racial insults were thrown, according to her mother. Angel Reese’s mom, Angel Webb Reese, came to her defense and fired back at the critics.

The two have quite a history. Last month, Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes sent the LSU Tigers packing in the final eight of the NCAA women’s championship. In the 2023 edition of the event, it was Reese who took the championship home by beating Iowa and taunting Clark after the win. The recent controversy only added a layer to the rivalry, but the firing wasn’t one-sided.
