Angel Reese Named WNBA All-Star Amid Controversy

Angel Reese, star forward for the Chicago Sky, sparked controversy by slapping a clipboard out of team vice president Ann Crosby’s hand during an 81-79 loss to the Washington Mystics. Reese later clarified that her frustration was aimed at officiating, not Crosby, and pledged to avoid such incidents in the future. The outburst has generated debate online about her sportsmanship and the quality of WNBA officiating, which Reese has criticized before. Despite the incident, Reese extended her record streak with a sixth consecutive double-double and remains one of the league’s top rebounders. She has been officially named a reserve for the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game. Off the court, Reese celebrated her younger brother Julian’s NBA Summer League debut with the Lakers.
