Angel Reese Nearing Punishment From WNBA After Technical Foul originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Chicago Sky returned to game action against the Minnesota Lynx.
After WNBA All-Star Weekend, Angel Reese was back in the lineup after being held out from the previous outing for "precautionary" reasons due to a leg injury.
In her return to the lineup, now having started in 22 of 22 games that she's been active for the Sky in her second season, Reese picked up a technical foul.
Reese earned her seventh technical foul of the season, which may lead to a fine from the WNBA. The Chicago Sky star is now one technical foul away from being automatically assessed a one-game suspension.
According to the league rules, any player who has received eight technical fouls on the season should receive a suspension from the WNBA.
CORRECTION: The WNBA has increased the technical foul suspension threshold from seven to eight.
