On Friday, ESPN’s Alexa Philippou reported that Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers will not be sanctioned after appearing in a controversial clip that was tweeted by the WNBA’s official X account. In the clip, which the WNBA said was “intended to be lighthearted” in a statement released Thursday, Reese and Bueckers appear to be making a $400 bet on the outcome of their Atlanta Dream-Dallas Wings matchup this week.

The teenager who was berated by Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton during a WNBA game Tuesday opened up for the first time.

Angel Reese put together another dominant two-way showing on Friday night against the Seattle Storm. The Atlanta Dream forward finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and two steals as Atlanta held off the Storm 98-89 at Gateway Center Arena, extending its winning streak to five games and improving to 18-10 on the season.

Kiki Iriafen was assessed a tech in the game, while Cotie McMahon was hit with a Flagrant 1 foul.
