CHICAGO -- Sky star Angel Reese was handed a mandatory one-game suspension by the WNBA on Thursday for picking up her eighth technical foul and will not play when Chicago faces the Indiana Fever on Friday.

Reese picked up a technical near the end of the first half in the Sky's 88-64 win over Connecticut on Wednesday, when she hit Aaliyah Edwards in the head as they fought for rebounding position in the paint. League rules state players and coaches are suspended one game after picking up an eighth technical foul in the regular season -- and one game for every two technicals after that.

Coach Tyler Marsh said after that game that the Sky would contest the technical foul and ask the league to review it.

Reese finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds for her 23rd double-double agains
