WNBA television cameras picked up her gesture.
And fans were left divided at her actions.
The incident occurred with the score locked at 77-77 and less than 30 seconds to play.
Reese headed back towards her Chicago Sky teammates frustrated.
And she took a swipe with her left hand which knocked a coach’s clipboard to the ground.
Fans spotted the moment, which instantly went viral.
One said, “She needs to be fined $25,000 for that, unacceptable behavior.”
Another commented, “Never disrespect your coaches.”
While a third claimed, “The Owner needs to suspend her. What an embarrassing act of behavior. Grow up.”
But others leaped to Reese’s defence and backed her show of passion.
“I’m gonna give Angel a pass on this,” one fan commented.
“Losing will do this to you and was just a heat in the moment reaction.
“She played alright but her team is just bad.”
While a second wrote, “I love Angel Reese competitive spirit and carries her emotions on her sleeve.
“Angel gives 100% on the court.”
And a third posted, “This is called passionate.”
The staffer holding the clipboard was Ann Crosby, director of basketball operations and a strength and conditioning coach.
It’s unclear exactly what annoyed Reese, but her actions came two days after ranting about officials.
And the 23-year-old claimed she tried to apologize to Crosby after the incident.
“Those **** were p*****g me off,” Reese wrote on X after the Sky’s 81-79 loss.
“Shoutout to Ann because she know it was the heat of the moment and she didn’t let me apologize because she knew!
“Not happening again tho.”
