Video: Angel Reese Reveals Bulls' Lonzo Ball Gave Her $2K to Cover $200 WNBA Fine

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is a man of his word.

During the newest episode of her Unapologetically Angel podcast, Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese confirmed that Ball helped her pay the fine she received after getting ejected from a game in June. He actually went above and beyond, giving her $2,000 when she was only out $200.

Reese was dismissed in the fourth quarter of Chicago's 88-75 loss to the New York Liberty on June 4. She received two quick technical fouls for signaling her dissatisfaction with the officiating.

Ball posted on X that he was prepared to foot the bill for any fine Reese received from the WNBA:

He called it a "terrible" technical in Wednesday's episode and said he was at the game in person, which was the first WNBA game he had attended.

The WNBA rescinded the second technical issued to Reese. ESPN's Michael Voepel noted that meant she was fined $200 instead of the original $400. The league has a sliding scale for the cost of individual techs.

Thankfully for Reese, her early exit didn't prevent her from eventually making history. She had 13 points and 10 rebounds against the Liberty, which was the first of her WNBA-record 15 straight double-doubles.
