Angel Reese has made Unrivaled history. The Chicago Sky forward, who plays for Rose BC in the new three-on-three women’s basketball league, earned the division’s first-ever ejection following a quick pair of technical fouls.

Reese and Rose faced Laces BC on Saturday night, but the forward’s time on the court was cut short when she was thrown out of the game while her team held an eight-point lead in the second quarter.

The former LSU star had a foul called against her after opponent Tiffany Hayes hit the floor. She wasn’t in agreement with the call and seemed to brush Hayes off while walking away, but the referee may have thought the gesture was directed at him as he blew his whistle for a tech.

Reese pleaded her case and kept arguing after Hayes stepped to the free throw line. She was quickly hit with another tech.

Angel Reese Was Having A Monster Game On The Boards

Reese became the first player to receive two technical fouls in the league’s short history.

“Well there’s a first,” one of the announcers said. “Our first Unrivaled ejection.”

Reese played seven minutes before her ejection, scoring six points on 2-of-7 shooting. She had already racked up 15 rebounds by the second quarter.

Her next opportunity to play will come next Friday, with Rose scheduled to square off against Mist BC. The game will be aired on TNT.
