Angel Reese Lands Slap On Mystics' Kiki Iriafen

During the Chicago Sky's Tuesday night matchup against the Washington Mystics, cameras caught Angel Reese missing a basket before delivering an unnecessary slap to Kiki Iriafen. The Sky endured a 79-72 defeat, marking their fourth loss in five games. Chicago’s record now stands at 1-3 on their home court and 3-8 overall. Reese’s growing frustration was evident after her missed layup, resulting in the unwarranted contact with Iriafen. Reese, who previously expressed her comfort in embracing the “villain” role in the WNBA, has certainly lived up to that moniker, especially given her ongoing rivalry with Caitlin Clark. However, this latest incident with Iriafen may elevate her reputation further. The Sky will next attempt to rebound as they host the Phoenix Mercury this Saturday at 1:00 p.m. EST.
