Angel Reese Avoids Suspension | Fayetteville News

Angel Reese narrowly avoided a one-game suspension after her eighth technical foul in the Atlanta Dream’s loss to Portland — but the WNBA overturned the call, letting her stay in the lineup for their crucial showdown against Minnesota. The incident erupted in the fourth quarter when Reese tangled with Carla Leite during a box-out, sparking an angry reaction from Reese that looked like it might lead to a benching. With technical fouls stacking up fast — similar to Caitlin Clark’s recent reversal — this decision preserves Atlanta’s roster depth at a critical point in the season. Portland pulled off a 101-83 win, led by Leite’s 26 points, but for the Dream, keeping Reese on the floor is a major boost as they push through the rest of their schedule.
