WNBA drama heats up as Toronto’s Sandy Brondello gets suspended for one game after calling Atlanta’s Angel Reese a “protected species” — a term that sparked controversy for its racial undertones. Brondello apologized, Reese accepted it while praising the league’s swift action and the outpouring of support she’s received. Reese emphasized zero tolerance for discrimination and called for unity, urging everyone to focus on winning basketball and keeping the league positive. The suspension sends a clear message: words matter, and the WNBA stands firm in protecting its players and culture.
