Chicago Sky rookie forward Angel Reese was ejected in the fourth quarter of Tuesday’s 88-75 loss against the New York Liberty.

Reese had a brief interaction with an official and received a technical foul with 2:31 remaining. It was the second technical foul she picked up and was promptly ejected from the matchup.

In 24 minutes, Reese had 13 points on 3-of-12 from the floor. She added 10 rebounds, an assist and her first career block.

Reese’s ejection left the rest of her teammates and head coach Teresa Weatherspoon confused.

“I tried to get an explanation. I did not,” Weatherspoon told reporters, via ESPN. “I don’t know to this moment what has happened.”

Maj Forsberg, the lead official, told reporters after the game Reese received technical fouls for “disrespectfully addressing” the official and then for “waving her hand in dismissal.”

“She got two techs, she said something to the ref,” Sky star Marina Mabrey added. “Whatever he felt like was the correct call is what he made. It’s more about composure for us in our young years in the WNBA. You’ve got to get to know refs and how they respond to things.”

Reese was already fined on Sunday for skipping a postgame interview with reporters after the Sky’s controversial game against the Indiana Fever.

Chicago Bulls star Lonzo Ball offered to pay Reese’s fine for the ejection.

“Appreciate you gang,” Reese responded on X.

The Liberty opened the game with a 21-6 run, but Chicago got within one point at the half. New York then went on a 15-2 run.

He was a two-time All-American at Michigan and the offensive most valuable player in the Wolverines’ national championship game victory over Washington.

So running back Blake Corum had pedigree when the Rams selected him in the third round of the NFL draft.

Yet Corum has gone through the Rams’ offseason program with an attitude that tilted more neophyte than seasoned performer.

“You just have to go in with a humble heart, and the mindset of, ‘I don’t know anything,’” Corum said Tuesday after practice, adding, “I’m going to grow from the good I do and whatever bad I do. … I’m never going to stop growing — so it was easy for me to come in and basically start over.”

The Rams selected the 5-foot-8, 210-pound Corum to complement third-year pro Kyren Williams, who made the Pro Bowl last season after rushing for 1,144 yards and scoring 15 touchdowns for a team that finished 10-7 and made the playoffs.

With Williams sidelined for voluntary offseason workouts because of a foot injury, Corum is taking advantage of increased reps as he learns the offense.

“I’ve seen a very mature rookie,” coach Sean McVay said, adding, “I love his mental makeup, love the way he handles himself as a person and how locked in and focused he is.”

Corum is part of a position group that includes Williams, Ronnie Rivers, second-year pro Zach Evans and recently signed veteran Boston Scott. Each has displayed talent and growth — in the meeting room and on the field — during the offseason program, running backs coach Ron Gould said.

Upon Corum’s arrival in Thousand Oaks, Gould sat down with the rookie and urged him not to be too hard on himself if he committed mistakes. The worst thing Corum could do, Gould said, was put pressure on himself.

“He hasn’t done that up to this point,” Gould said. “He’s taken everything in stride. He’s a learner, and I see him growing every single day.”

Corum used a tough running style to rush for 3,737 yards and 58 touchdowns during four seasons at Michigan.

After selecting Florida State edge rusher Jared Verse in the first round of the draft, and trading up to pick Seminoles defensive tackle Braden Fiske in the second, the Rams chose Corum with the 83rd pick.

“I went into the draft just planning on going on Day 2,” Corum said. “I didn’t know if it would be the second or third [round] for me — I just wanted to go to the right situation.

“When I got the call from the Rams I was like, ‘You know what? This is the right situation.’”

McVay, Gould, offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur and the other running backs have eased his transition to the pros, Corum said.

“I thought I had a great family at Michigan,” Corum said. “We built a great culture there, and I didn’t know what to expect coming to the NFL where it is a business now. But it feels like family.”

After the Rams conclude workouts next week, Corum said he would leave Southern California briefly to conduct football camps in Michigan and home-state Virginia. He will return quickly to prepare for training camp, which begins in late July.

“Maybe go down to Malibu, check out a beach or two,” he said. “But other than that, I’m going to be spacing my time wisely, taking care of my body, training every day to make sure I’m in shape for camp and staying in the playbook.”

Etc.

McVay provided no update on quarterback Matthew Stafford’s contract situation. Stafford is signed through 2026, but during the NFL draft McVay acknowledged a report that the 15-year veteran wants the deal adjusted. Stafford has participated in the offseason program and will participate in final workouts next week, McVay said. … Linebacker Ernest Jones IV has participated in the offseason program but not on-field team workouts because of a knee issue, McVay said.

Stefanos Tsitsipas took issue with two-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz’s style of play during their quarterfinal match at the French Open on Tuesday, prompting him to make his case to the chair umpire. 

Tsitsipas, a finalist at the 2021 French Open, approached the umpire after losing a tie-break in the second set to complain about Alcaraz’s “extended grunt.” 

After hitting the ball into the net, Tsitsipas suggested to the umpire that noise was distracting. 

“When I’m about to hit the shot, there is an extended grunt,” he said, according to a video, via Eurosport. 

“The grunt is extended. It’s like a millisecond before I hit it.”

Tsitsipas’ complaints were met with boos from the crowd, but it wouldn’t be the last time he raised the issue.

Tsitsipas approached the chair umpire again after Alcaraz took a commanding two-set lead.

“Before it was manageable, but that last forehand was a little bit borderline too much.”

Alcaraz would win the quarterfinal match in three sets. He will next face Jannik Sinner in the semifinal match.

Casper Ruud advanced to the semifinals on Tuesday after Novak Djokovic announced his withdrawal from the French Open with a knee injury. 

“I am really sad to announce that I have to withdraw from #rolandgarros,” Djokovic posted on social media. “I played with my heart and gave my all in yesterday’s match and unfortunately, due to a medial meniscus tear in my right knee, my team and I had to make a tough decision after careful consideration and consultation.”
