Angel Reese committed a vicious and unnecessary tactic on Leïla Lacan during Saturday’s game between the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun, and a fine should be on the way.

The Sky lost 94-84 to the Sun on Saturday, dropping them to 9-27 on the year and putting the dagger in their already slim playoff hopes. The loss may have been rock bottom for the Sky, who watched head coach Tyler Marsh get ejected after nearly punching a referee while questioning a non-call in the second quarter.

Marsh isn’t the only one who lost his composure on Saturday, though. Angel Reese also got immensely frustrated while being pressured by Lacan during a possession and proceeded to scratch her eye.

Cameras caught Leïla Lacan getting looked at by a team trainer after Angel Reese’s unsportsmanlike tactic:

Reese missed seven games earlier this month with a back injury, and Chicago went 1-6 without their All-Star sophomore. Her double-double on Saturday (11 points and 11 rebounds) went to waste in another disheartening defeat.

Per ESPN, Reese is averaging 14.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steels per game in the 25 contests she’s suited up for. Her 46.2 field goal percentage is also a remarkable improvement from the lackluster 39.1 percentage she posted a year earlier.

It’s another lost season for the Sky, but Reese has cemented herself as a franchise cornerstone piece that the organization can build around long-term.
