Mystics coach Sydney Johnson left Saturday’s game against the Dream in heated fashion and eventually had to be escorted off the court by police in Atlanta.
Johnson’s blow-up moment came late in the third quarter after Dream star Angel Reese drove into the paint and drew a foul from Mystics’ Alicia Flórez on her layup attempt. Johnson didn’t appear to like that call at all, though it’s unclear exactly what he was complaining to the refs about. He had to be held back by his assistant coaches several times, and Mystics star forward Kiki Iriafen even butted in trying to calm Johnson down and de-escalate the situation.
