Sky rookie Angel Reese had a hard rookie moment on Saturday night when WNBA veteran Alyssa Thomas clotheslined her while battling for a rebound, resulting in her ejection.
Chicago Sky star rookie Angel Reese had herself quite the rookie moment in Saturday night’s loss to the Connecticut Sun, which resulted in a WNBA veteran’s ejection. The Sun’s Alyssa Thomas was sent off the court prematurely after a wrestle for a rebound resulted in her clotheslining Reese in the third quarter of Connecticut’s 86-82 victory. Thomas stuck her arm and hand out across Reese’s neck as they battled for the rebound, and Reese hit the deck pretty hard.

If anything, she wants the pressure, the physicality, and the aggression from opponents because, like she said, she’s a basketball player trying to win like the rest of them. 'They’re not supposed to be nice to me,' Reese continued. 'I hope y’all know that. They’re not supposed to be nice to me or lay down because I’m Angel Reese or because I’m a rookie.
