Angel Reese didn't hold back on what she did to the Sky staffer.
Angel Reese Under Fire For Actions Toward Chicago Sky Staffer originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Chicago Sky faced the Washington Mystics in a rare before-noon contest on Tuesday, and Angel Reese did her part once again, recording her sixth straight double-double with 22 points, 15 rebounds and four assists.
However, the Sky dropped their 13th game of the season after falling 81-79. But the main takeaway came from a foul called on Chicago guard Ariel Atkins with 29.9 seconds remaining.
The score was tied at 77 when Atkins and Washington forward Shakira Austin went up for a rebound. Austin came down with it, and the whistle favored the Mystics.
The play was reviewed and upheld, but during the process, Reese stormed to the bench, visibly frustrated with the call.
Ann Crosby, the team’s vice president of basketball operations and strength and conditioning, extended a clipboard toward her. Reese then slapped it away, causing it to hit the ground.

The video of her hitting the board made its way to social media, and fans quickly criticized her for it.
"Body language is awful yikes," one fan said.
"that is an awful way to treat a trainer or coach," another wrote.
"Wow, trash!" Added another.
"Such a bad representation and not at all what should be shown body language is horrible," one fan said.
"Locker room cancer, she might hurt someone," wrote another.
"She slapped the clipboard out of the coaches hand???" A fan added.
The foul led to two free throws for Austin, who missed both but grabbed her offensive rebound and finished a layup. That bucket gave the Mystics a 79-77 lead. After a pair of free throws by Reese tied it, Austin sealed the win by knocking down two of her own with three seconds left.
Reese and the Sky have a quick turnaround and will return home to face the Dallas Wings on Wednesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.
