WNBA fans reacted to Angel Reese's foul trouble, which could jeopardize her availability for the Chicago Sky-Indiana Fever clash on Sunday. According to league regulations, a player is allowed only seven technical fouls in a season before she is suspended for a game.

Reese has already picked up seven technical fouls in 22 games this season. As the Sky gear up to face the Seattle Storm on Thursday, Reese has to be extremely careful. One more technical and she would be out of the Indiana Fever game, which they play after the Storm.

Although it has been a great season for Reese individually, it has been tough for the Sky overall. At times, Reese has seemed frustrated with calls amid the losing streaks.

Reacting to the news on X, a fan wrote that Angel Reese should have gotten technical fouls every single game:

"surprised she hasnt gotten one every game. shes always running her mouth at players and refs."

Some fans were in support of Reese getting technicals and alleged that she played "antics" on the court.

"Aye, she’s got to learn quick—no one’s got time for antics on court. Play smart, or stay benched," the fan wrote.

Some fans joked that if Reese receives her next technical, Caitlin Clark should be involved. One fan commented:

A fan wondered about the number of technicals Reese had received halfway through the season.

"How you have 7 technicals in the middle of the season," they wrote.

A few fans took indirect shots at the league for giving preferential treatment to Caitlin Clark, who, according to them, has been just as aggressive this season.

"Meanwhile, the Karen of the league gets to do 'whatever the f*ck she wants' and nothing. And her dumb fan base still cries she has the worst whistle. lmao," a fan wrote.

"And yet the refs let that other player scream in their faces and don’t hand out technicals to her. If you’re going to call techs call them consistently," another chimed in.
