Angel Reese wasn't lying in early April when she said she wanted to be "knocked down and learn and grow at the next level." The Chicago Sky rookie has been knocked down and is getting back up with grace every single time.
Reese took a clothesline to the neck on Saturday night during the Sky's 86-82 loss to the Connecticut Sun, courtesy of veteran Alyssa Thomas. Thomas stuck up her arm — and her hand— on Reese's neck while the two were fighting for a rebound in the third quarter and Reese went down hard.
