The New York Liberty cruised to an 88-75 win over the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night.
In the waning minutes with the Liberty firmly in control, Sky rookie Angel Reese drew two quick whistles for her first ejection from a WNBA game. The ejection took place with New York leading, 82-71 and 2:31 remaining. Reese initially drew a whistle for a personal foul while fighting for a rebound. Two subsequent technical whistles quickly followed, and Reese had been ejected from the game.
It happened so fast that the NBATV broadcast initially announced that New York's Betnijah Laney-Hamilton had been ejected.
