It was an ejection that had everyone buzzing — why did Angel Reese get two quick technical fouls in Tuesday’s Chicago Sky and New York Liberty? Because she chirped a bit at a ref AND waved a little at him?
C’mon. We’ve seen much, much worse.
But Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is on her side. And if Reese has to pay a fine? He’s going to pick up the tab.
Ball posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was at the game and had a message for Reese that the calls were “weak” and that he’d pay whatever fine there was:
Ref that threw out @Reese10Angel is weak btw… You know who you are (Keep ya money Angel I got you)

Bonus: he’s impressed by Breanna Stewart:
