ANGEL Reese was caught in another on-court flash point during Chicago Sky’s latest loss.
Reese, 23, had just missed a free-throw attempt when her actions were spotted by WNBA fans.

The second-year Sky star attempted to stop a fast break by the Washington Mystics after missing from the line.
And in doing so she caught Kiki Iriafen in the face, sending the rookie to the floor.
Fans watching the game spotted the controversial moment.
“Angel Reese just slapped that girl in the face after missing a layup,” one said.
“She was trying to rebound her face,” another laughed.
A third joked, “That was an eye poke lmao.”
While a fourth commented, “That’s the most accurate shot she took all game.”
The Sky were beaten 79-72 in the Commissioner’s Cup showdown.
Their latest loss saw them fall to 3-8 this season, one of the worst records in the league.
Sky coach Tyler Marsh lamented the “self-inflicted wounds” which led to their defeat.
“Throughout and after the game, a lot of our mistakes are on us, Marsh said.
“You can still maintain confidence that a lot of it has to deal with self-inflicted wounds.”
Reese’s latest incident came after her clash with Caitlin Clark little over a month ago.
Chicago’s season opener against the Indian Fever was overshadowed by an incident between the rivals.
Reese was pushed to the floor on a basketball play by Clark.
The WNBA launched an investigation after claims of fan abuse and racism towards Reese.
A statement read, “We have investigated the report of racist fan behavior in the vicinity of the court during the May 17, 2025, Chicago Sky at Indiana Fever game.
“Based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team and arena staff, as well as audio and video review of the game, we have not substantiated it.
“The WNBA is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for everyone and will continue to be vigilant in enforcing our fan code of conduct.”
And Chicago Sky president Adam Fox made a public declaration on behalf of the WNBA team.
“We appreciate the quick action by the league and the Indiana Fever to take this matter seriously and to investigate,” Fox said.
“This process demonstrates the league’s strong stance on stopping hate at all WNBA games and events, and we will continue to support those efforts.”
