Angel Reese missed Sunday’s game between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever due to a back injury, but her name is still garnering headlines.

Reese is inching closer to a league suspension after a recent blowout loss to the Minnesota Lynx. The Chicago Sky forward put up 11 points and 11 rebounds in the losing cause, but she made headlines for receiving a seventh technical foul in just 22 games so far this season.

Reese leads the WNBA with seven technicals. One more, and she’ll receive an automatic one-game suspension.

Angel Reese also drew a technical foul during the Sky’s season-opening contest against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.

Her attitude on the court could cause problems for both her and her team in the near future.

According to WNBA rules, the league assesses automatic suspensions for excessive technical fouls. A player will receive a one-game ban upon receiving their eighth technical foul of the season.

Sky head coach Tyler Marsh spoke out honestly about the situation.

“We’ve done our work on our side to try to get a couple of those rescinded in the moment and beyond, and that’s up to the league’s discretion,” Marsh said.

“I think, across the board, it’s part of the entertainment of the game. It’s hard to control the passion in the heat of the moment.”

Angel Reese only had four technical fouls total last season.

When Will Angel Reese be Back On The Court?

Sky forward Angel Reese missed another game Sunday because of a back injury.

The Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky showdown on Sunday missed some serious star power, as Reese and Caitlin Clark were out.

Clark is dealing with a groin injury and has been sidelined without a specific timetable for her return. The game against the Sky marked her fourth straight absence since suffering the injury against the Connecticut Sun.

Reese has been listed as day-to-day with a back ailment and was a gametime decision before being ruled out about an hour before tipoff.

The Sky won’t play again until Tuesday, so there is a good chance that Reese could be back on the court this week.
