Angel Reese Overcome with Emotion After Flagrant Foul from Former Teammate

Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream secured a decisive 102-77 victory against the Toronto Tempo on Sunday, improving their season record to 9-4. Despite the team's success, a distressing moment during the third quarter brought the two-time All-Star to tears.

Reese received the ball in the post after maneuvering around Isabelle Harrison, but the Tempo forward unexpectedly pulled her down by grabbing her arms. The incident led to Harrison being penalized with a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected from the game. Cameras captured Reese visibly upset in the aftermath of the play.

Reese and Harrison previously played together on the Chicago Sky during the 2024 season, with Harrison mentoring Reese during her rookie year out of LSU. This shared history likely contributed to Reese's emotional reaction following the foul.

The Dream is currently one of the leading teams in the Eastern Conference, trailing the New York Liberty by just half a game. However, they are facing a demanding schedule in the upcoming weeks.

Atlanta will return to the court on Thursday to face the Indiana Fever, followed by another match against the Fever two days later. They will then host the Tempo again at State Farm Arena before embarking on a challenging four-game road trip. If the Dream continue to perform at a high level, they could solidify their status as serious contenders in the league this season.
