The Connecticut Sun continued to roll Saturday night as DeWanna Bonner’s 19 points secured an important road win in Chicago. However, she had to get the job done without her fiance, Alyssa Thomas. The 4x WNBA All-Star had to leave the court following her flagrant foul on the Sky rookie Angel Reese in the third quarter resulting in an ejection. Furthermore, Bonner too had to come across an on-court altercation with the former LSU standout.
The game was at a critical point in the penultimate quarter, with the visitors holding a 6-point lead. As Elizabeth Williams attempted a free-throw line jumper, Bonner and Reese were battling it out for a rebound under the rim. That’s when things escalated and the game was stopped following Bonner going down to the floor, holding her face.
The replays showed that in an attempt to get a rebound in case Williams’ effort failed, Reese poked the 36-year-old in the eye. Seeing Bonner on the floor, head coach Stephanie White wasted no time to go check on her. Moreover, it also resulted in a Ref-initiated review. Due to the inconclusive nature of the video, no further calls were made by the officials.
This is a developing story.
