Overview

  • Following an 88-64 win over the Sun, Reese said she had apologized to teammates for the Tribune article and acknowledged her wording created issues.
  • In the interview, she demanded the Sky add “good” and “great” players, warned she may consider leaving if the roster is not upgraded, and said she will recruit free agents; she leads Chicago with about 14.7 points and a WNBA-best 12.6 rebounds per game.
  • Reese’s remarks included questioning Courtney Vandersloot’s ability to return at her age after an ACL tear and urging coach Tyler Marsh to push players harder, with skepticism about Rachel Banham and Hailey Van Lith leading a playoff team.
  • Multiple outlets reported teammates were unhappy and a team meeting was planned to address Reese directly, and Marsh said the matter was handled in-house.
  • Reese picked up her eighth technical foul of the season in the win, triggering an automatic one-game suspension for Friday’s game against the Fever, which the Sky plan to appeal.
