What happened: Angel Reese addressed the WNBA's decision to suspend Toronto Tempo coach Sandy Brondello for calling her a 'protected species.' While the forward expressed appreciation for Brondello's apology following a Friday night foul, she emphasized her gratitude for the league's disciplinary action.

Why it matters: The swift response sets a firm precedent for how coaches publicly discuss opposing players. The league previously confirmed the ban comes without pay.

What to watch: The Tempo will navigate their next scheduled matchup against Las Vegas without their head coach on the sideline.
