Angel Reese played just seven minutes before being ejected during Rose BC’s Unrivaled game against Laces BC on Sunday, but that didn’t prevent her from getting recognition.
Reese was thrown out of the contest late in the second quarter following a foul on Tiffany Hayes. The Sky forward proceeded to wave her hand in the direction of both Hayes and the referee, which prompted the official to issue a technical foul.
The 22-year-old double-double machine then argued with the official, earning her second technical foul and causing her ejection from the contest.
Despite her brief time on the floor, though, Reese was able to grab 15 total rebounds, along with six points and three assists. Her dominance on the glass earned her the rebounding leader recognition for the game, as Rose BC went on to win, 83-69.
No other player in the game reached double digits in rebounding.
“Angel Reese has been named Opill’s leading rebounder of the night DESPITE early ejection!” Rose BC announced on social media.
For what it’s worth, Angel Reese was clearly not happy with her ejection. Following the game, she sent out a series of posts on X where her frustration was clear.
“free me,” Reese wrote alongside a video of her watching Saturday’s game following her exit.
“sayless,” she wrote in another post.
While it’s not the best day for Reese, the important thing is that they won. Now, her team has improved to 2-4 on the season.
