United StatesOn August 28, 2026, WNBA player Angel Reese of the Atlanta Dream received a technical foul during a game against the Portland Fire, leading to an automatic one-game suspension. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter when Reese shoved opposing guard Carla Leite after a play involving teammate Rhyne Howard. Reese, who had already accumulated seven technical fouls this season, faces potential suspension for the next game against the Minnesota Lynx. Her coach, Karl Smesko, expressed disbelief at the call, stating the action did not appear technically worthy and hoped for a review. Reese, known for her statistical achievements including being the fastest to reach 1,500 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 250 assists, remains under scrutiny for the incident.
