The Chicago Sky suffered a tough 81-79 loss to the Washington Mystics on Tuesday. It's a loss that keeps Chicago at the bottom of the WNBA rankings, as the team has struggled throughout the season. During the game, Angel Reese was spotted slamming a coach's clipboard in frustration, as the game wasn't going the way she wanted it to.
With just over 29 seconds remaining in the contest, the Sky called a timeout with the game tied 77-77. Reese walked over to the sideline, voicing her frustration to her teammates. An assistant coach attempted to hand the 23-year-old forward a clipboard to likely go over a play. However, Angel Reese slapped it out of the coach's hand in the heat of the moment.
