June 16th 2025.
A highly intense game between the Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun almost turned into a physical altercation when Sky center Angel Reese reacted to an unexpected move by Sun guard Bria Hartley. However, despite the tension on the court, Reese still managed to make history that day.
During the third quarter of the game, Hartley grabbed Reese's ponytail as she went up for a rebound. This immediately sparked a reaction from Reese, who confronted the guard. As things started to escalate, Hartley's teammate, Olivia Nelson-Ododa, tried to intervene, but Reese pushed her away in the heat of the moment.
The referee and other players quickly stepped in to prevent a full-blown brawl between the two teams. Even though Suns forward Tina Charles attempted to rush towards Reese during the commotion, the situation was eventually diffused. Both Reese and Charles were given technical fouls for their actions, while Hartley, who instigated the incident, received a regular foul.
Despite the chaos on the court, the Sky managed to secure a victory against the Sun with a final score of 78-66, putting an end to their three-game losing streak. And to top it off, Reese made history once again by becoming the fastest WNBA player to reach 30 career double-doubles, breaking the previous record held by Charles.
Not only that, but Reese also achieved another milestone that day as she recorded her very first triple-double with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists. A remarkable feat for the second-year player.
The Sky currently holds a record of 3-7 and will face the Washington Mystics in their next game on June 17 in Illinois. The Sun, on the other hand, has a similar losing record of 2-8.
In addition to her accomplishments on the court, Reese also recently took home the BET Sportswoman of the Year Award at the BET Awards. A well-deserved recognition for the talented athlete.
It's safe to say that Reese is making a name for herself in the WNBA, and we can't wait to see what she'll achieve next.
