Outspoken former ESPN and Fox Sports analyst Jason Whitlock has branded Angel Reese a 'worse version of Kawhi Leonard' amid the Chicago Sky star's injury struggles

A nagging back injury has forced Reese to put on one of her designer outfits and watch from the bench. With just two games under her belt since the All-Star break, she hasn’t had much of a chance to increase her total rebounding lead.

Connecticut’s Bria Harley and Chicago’s Rebecca Allen each received ejections for starting the scuffle, while the Sky’s Ariel Atkins’ night ended early “for being an escalator” after shoving Hartley and touching a referee, according to crew chief Angelia Suffern as reported by ESPN.

An on-court skirmish sparked a trio of ejections during a Connecticut Sun win over the Chicago Sky. Officials issued the ejections in the second quarter.

Reese continues to sit out due to a back injury, and there is still reportedly no timetable for her return. The Sky once again had to go to war without the star forward on Wednesday when they faced the Connecticut Sun.
