Angel Reese<\/a> missed 10 of her 13 shots on Thursday night and was smacked in the face.<\/p>\n

During the Atlanta Dream’s 104-69 victory over the Connecticut Sun<\/a>, Reese had a run-in with Sun player Aaliyah Edwards in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Reese attempted to make a layup while being double-teamed, and as she finally got the shot up, Edwards’ hand came down right on Reese’s face and head area.<\/p>\n

Edwards fell to the floor behind Reese after the smack. Reese, enraged, then turned, stood over Edwards and shouted at her.<\/p>\n

Just moments later on the sideline, Reese was seen gesturing to indicate Edwards hit her in the neck.<\/p>\n

Upon review, Edwards’ foul on Reese was upgraded to a Flagrant 1.<\/p>\n

The foul was not addressed in the Dream’s postgame press conference.<\/p>\n

But the foul wasn’t the only tough moment Reese faced on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Early in the first quarter, Reese had a shot brutally rejected by Sun player Brittney Griner<\/a>. Griner ended up blocking two more of Reese’s shots throughout the game.<\/p>\n

Reese finished the game with eight points, making just three of 13 shots, with two turnovers. However, she did have 15 rebounds, her specialty.<\/p>\n

Flagrant fouls in the WNBA have become a national storyline in 2026. Other infamous fouls this year have included Alyssa Thomas’ throat punch on Caitlin Clark in June. Then, last Saturday, DiJonai Carrington smacked Sophie Cunningham<\/a> in the face on a Cunningham layup attempt.<\/p>\n

The WNBA is navigating an ongoing national controversy over incidents involving hard contact, and cultural discussions over trans athletes in women’s sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reese will represent Team USA alongside Clark at the upcoming FIBA Women\u2019s World Cup in Germany in a few weeks, while the entire WNBA takes a break from the chaos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
