Overview
- Thursday night Reese was assessed her seventh technical foul, putting her one technical away from an automatic one-game suspension under WNBA rules and triggering a $1,000 fine for the latest call.
- Late in the 89-78 road win over Seattle she appeared to roll her right ankle, walked to the locker room under her own power and did not return while the team awaited medical evaluation.
- Reese finished the game with 18 points and 11 rebounds for her 64th career double-double, a mark that surpassed Tina Charles for most double-doubles in a player’s first three WNBA seasons.
- The Dream snapped a five-game losing streak in the victory, but Atlanta’s immediate lineup and short-term playoff positioning could be affected if Reese is suspended or needs time to recover.
- Under WNBA discipline rules a player who reaches eight technicals is automatically suspended one game and fined $1,500, and a separate threshold of four flagrant points also triggers a suspension; Reese already carries two flagrant points, which raises both competitive and roster risks for Atlanta.
