American professional basketball player in the WNBA and international leagues
The WNBA has suspended Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello after she was heard calling Angel Reese a “protected species” during a game. Brondello has apologized, and Reese has responded on social media. The incident followed a late-season game involving Brondello’s Tempo and the Dream, with consequences including a suspension and ongoing debate over the phrase’s meaning.
