The Chicago Sky interally disciplined star forward Angel Reese for what the team is calling "statements detrimental to the team."
The Sky announced Friday it has suspended Reese for the first half of Saturday's game vs. Las Vegas.
This comes after Reese voiced her frustrations surrounding a second consecutive losing season in the WNBA, with this season having a worse record than the 2024 season.
The backstory:
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune with communication representatives present, Reese was up front about the state of the team.
The Sky, which made moves they believed would help them compete for a playoff spot, will miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season. Reese was candid about the need to attract top-level free agents in what's a pivotal offseason for the WNBA.
