WNBA to Fine Chicago Sky's Aicha Coulibaly $500 After DeWanna Bonner Incident

The WNBA will fine Chicago Sky guard Aicha Coulibaly $500 after a Flagrant 1 foul in Monday’s game against the Phoenix Mercury. Chicago lost a close contest and saw its two-game winning streak end, despite leading by seven with 6:08 remaining. Phoenix’s Kahleah Copper scored 31 points, while Alyssa Thomas posted a triple-double of 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. Kelsey Plum, making her Mercury debut after being traded from the Los Angeles Sparks before Aug. 2, added 20 points off the bench. During the second quarter, Coulibaly’s closeout on DeWanna Bonner on a made 3-pointer was upgraded after review. Under league rules, each Flagrant point costs $500; it was her first of the season, with a limit of four before a potential one-game suspension.
