The Sky are winding down an ugly season, but fans will miss one of their last chances to see Angel Reese in action before Chicago's offseason gets underway.
The WNBA announced Thursday that Reese has been suspended for Friday's road matchup with the Fever, which carries playoff implications for Indiana.
While Caitlin Clark isn't expected to suit up for the Fever as she remains out with the injury that knocked her off the court in July, Reese's absence means fans who might have expected a renewal of their rivalry before the season won't get to see either star take the floor in Indiana.
Here's what you need to know about Reese's suspension.

Why is Angel Reese suspended?
Reese received her eighth technical foul of the season in a win over the Sun on Wednesday, putting her over the limit and triggering an automatic one-game suspension.
The technical foul still had to be upheld for Reese to receive a suspension, but the WNBA confirmed Thursday that the call will not change and Reese will have to sit out Friday's game against the Fever.
Reese was called for a technical foul in the final minute of the first half on Wednesday after making contact with Connecticut's Aaliyah Edwards under the basket.
Angel Reese was assessed her 8th technical foul of the season after incidental contact with Aaliyah Edwards on this play.

Reese finished the game with 18 points and 13 rebounds, marking her sixth consecutive double-double and eighth in her last nine games, but she will have to wait until Sunday to extend that streak in Las Vegas.

How many technical fouls does Angel Reese have?
Reese has eight technical fouls on the season; her eighth technical reached the WNBA's limit and triggered an automatic one-game suspension.
"Under WNBA rules, a player or coach is automatically suspended without pay for one game upon receiving an eighth technical foul during the regular season," the WNBA said in a statement announcing Reese's suspension.

The WNBA increased its technical foul limit from seven to eight for the 2025 season, which is four games longer than 2024. Reese would be suspended again for every two technical fouls she receives, but she is unlikely to hit that mark with only three games remaining on the Sky's schedule after Friday's contest in Indiana.
