Late in the third quarter of Tuesday night’s Commissioner’s Cup game, Brittney Griner and Angel Reese became tangled up as they jostled for a rebound in an intense game in Atlanta.

Dream star Reese was trying to track down the loose ball and had gained inside position on Griner, but the Connecticut Sun center practically clotheslined Reese in a play that resulted in an upgrade from a common foul to a flagrant foul.

Griner on Wednesday learned that, in accordance with WNBA rules, she will be fined $500 for the Flagrant 1 on Reese.

The flagrant call generated significant debate online. Some fans believe Reese flopped and exaggerated the contact, while others criticized Griner for crossing the line physically.

Reese eventually had the last laugh in a 91-75 win for the Dream. She posted a 12-point, 13-rebound double-double as Atlanta’s hot start to the season continued.
