Angel Reese And Nalyssa Said This To Refs During The Game…
Despite their impressive WNBA rookie seasons, the selection committee did not choose either player for the 12-player roster for the 2024 Olympics
On June 11, 2024, USA Basketball revealed its 12-player roster for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, which commences in July 2024. Neither Reese nor Clark, 22, was included in the lineup, despite their impressive rookie seasons in the WNBA.
During a mid-June WNBA game between their teams, Reese committed a flagrant foul against Clark, who took an arm to the head while attempting to make a shot. In a post-game interview, Reese dismissed the incident as a “basketball play,” adding that she “can’t control the refs, they affected the game obviously a lot tonight.”
In early June 2024, the WNBA announced it would fine Reese $1,000 after her team’s loss to the Indiana Fever the previous day, for disregarding the league’s rules regarding media conduct. According to a WNBA news release, Reese failed “to make herself available to the media for interviews,” per CBS Sports.
Reese and Clark are common targets of satire pages like SpaceXMania, whose content is sometimes confused with real news.
Because the claim that Reese was expelled from the U.S. women’s basketball team and fined $1 million for comments she made about Clark stems from a website whose output is explicitly described as satirical in nature, this claim is rated “Labeled Satire.”
