"Aka Angel Reese night": Jason Whitlock brutally mocks Sky star over WNBA's "no-bag policy"

The WNBA has taken the dildo-throwing incidents this week seriously. On Wednesday, the league reportedly implemented a “no-bag policy” for fans to prevent the same pranks from happening. Some reports suggest the league will put the new rule in place starting Friday’s games.

Veteran sports journalist Jason Whitlock could not resist taking a shot at another WNBA player following the announcement of the new rule.

"Aka... Angel Reese Night across the WNBA," Whitlock tweeted Thursday.

In basketball circles, a “no bag” could also mean a player with limited skills on offense. Whitlock, who has criticized Angel Reese’s prowess on offense, did not hold back from trolling the Chicago Sky All-Star.

Reese has made significant strides in her offensive game, averaging 14.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, both career-high numbers. The All-Star forward is making 44.4% of her shots compared to last year’s 39.1% clip. Still, Whitlock promptly dragged her into the WNBA’s “no-bag policy.”

WNBA has another dildo-throwing incident with Angel Reese in the building

The second dildo-throwing incident happened on Aug. 1 in a game featuring the Chicago Sky and Golden State Valkyries. Late in the fourth quarter, a neon green toy machine went flying on the court, prompting officials to stop the game.

Angel Reese, who sat on the bench during the incident, tweeted:

Reese’s tweet was a response to Indiana Fever guard Sydney Colson, who jokingly said that the sex toy was hers.

Despite the implementation of the “no bag policy” on Friday, somebody snuck in another dildo for Friday’s game between the Chicago Sky and Atlanta Dream. This time, it was a purple object that caused a brief stoppage.

The Dream were cruising to another blowout win against the Sky when the incident happened. Atlanta led 86-65 late in the fourth quarter when the sex toy suddenly dropped near midcourt.

Twice in one week, a dildo prank happened with Reese, out with a back injury, in the building. On both occasions, the Sky suffered losses.
