Overview

  • After Tuesday’s 81-79 loss to the Mystics, Reese called out officials for uneven foul calls and declared she is “tired of this shit”
  • She tagged the WNBA on social media, urging referees to “do better” and saying she doesn’t care about potential fines
  • Reese posted 22 points, 15 rebounds and four assists, extending her streak of games with at least 15 boards to six straight
  • Chicago coach Tyler Marsh backed her stance, questioning the team’s low free-throw count relative to paint touches and a late-game foul call
  • Despite Reese’s leadership and record-setting performance, the Sky dropped to 5-13, underscoring the disparity between her impact and the team’s results
