Two of the biggest names in the WNBA collided Tuesday, leaving Brittney Griner $500 poorer.
Griner, the Connecticut Sun’s center, was slapped with a foul after a brief moment when Angel Reese hit the floor amid wild arm waving, according toYahoo Sports.
Griner was hit with a Flagrant 1 foul for the incident, which added to her bad night as Reese and the Atlanta Dream defeated the Sun 91-75. WNBA rules establish the fine for Flagrant 1 fouls at $500.
When theNew York Postsummarized the incident, it noted that the two players were jockeying for position for a rebound when their arms became entangled.

“The duo rotated with their arms locked to the point that Reese faced the basket while Griner had her back to the hoop, which led to an awkward scenario when one moment later Reese attempted to run toward the loose ball in the paint while Griner’s arm held her back,” the outlet reported.
“Reese then suddenly lost her balance, throwing her hands up in the air while sliding the floor in a mannerism that perhaps leads to questions of whether she flopped,” the New York Post continued.
Griner seemed surprised to see Reese flailing on the floor but then helped her up.
Lol. Angel flopping. Even Griner was surprised she went down like that.https://t.co/jJOxuKGXWl
