Angel Reese returned to action after a two-game absence, but her comeback couldn't change the outcome as the Chicago Sky fell 103-86 to the Washington Mystics on Tuesday. During the game, Mystics center Shakira Austin, who is on a $91,981 contract, stole the spotlight with a bold moment that went viral.

In the clip, Austin showcased her finesse in the post, using slick footwork to shake off Reese's tight defense and finish a crafty layup. Fired up after the play, Austin celebrated by hitting the "too small" gesture directed at the former LSU star, igniting buzz across social media.
