Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese was on the receiving end of a brutal flagrant foul during Saturday night’s game against the Dallas Wings.

WNBA All-Star Alyssa Thomas sent Reese to the floor with a brutal flagrant foul. Thomas ended up getting ejected for her elbow to Reese’s head.

But Reese isn’t fazed by it.

The former LSU Tigers star, who won a national title in 2023, had a message for the rest of the WNBA following her flagrant foul injury on Saturday night.

“It’s not just because I’m a rookie. I’m a player. I’m a basketball player,” Reese said, according to The Athletic. “They don’t give a damn if I’m a rookie. I mean, I want them to come at me every day. I want them to come at everybody.”

Reese doesn’t think anyone is going to be nice to her in the league – and that’s how it should be.

“I mean, they’re not supposed to be nice to me. I hope y’all know that. They’re not supposed to be nice to me or lay down because I’m Angel Reese or because I’m a rookie. Like, thank you AT for sending a message to me because I got back up and I kept going and kept pushing. Like me and AT have been cool since we were at Maryland so I know it’s no hard feelings. I appreciate her for going at me today or every day,” she added.
