Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese dropped an expletive during a live halftime interview with ESPN's Holly Rowe on Sunday as the Dream hosted Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever at State Farm Arena.
The comment aired uncensored on national television, and clips of the exchange spread across social media within minutes.
A portion of the reaction went beyond criticism of the broadcast itself to call for Reese to be formally fined over her language.
Reese had a rough first half with just 7 points and 2 turnovers. Atlanta trailed early but clawed back with a scoring run late in the second quarter, taking a 44-40 lead into the halftime break. Reese contributed to that stretch with 5 points, a defensive rebound, and an ****** ist.
As the teams headed to the locker room, Rowe caught up with Reese for ESPN's standard in-game sideline interview, an unscripted segment that airs live with no broadcast delay.
