Angel Reese was ejected during the second quarter of an Unrivaled game between the Rose and Laces on Saturday evening.
Reese, a forward for the Rose, was called for a foul after attempting to slap the basketball away from guard Tiffany Hayes. Reese made a couple gestures as she walked away from the foul, which triggered a technical foul—her second of the night.

Reese appeared to try to explain that her gesture was not aimed at a referee, but she still received the technical foul and was thus ejected from the game. Reese became the first player in Unrivaled history to get ejected from a game.
Before the end of the game, Reese already took to X and posted a simple one-word message after her ejection: "sayless."
