Overview

• Chicago suspended Angel Reese for the first half against the Aces for “statements detrimental to the team,” then held her out of the second half after she reported pregame back discomfort, with her status for this week uncertain.
• The Sky sit near the bottom of the standings at 10-32 and are effectively out of playoff contention as they close the regular season.
• An anonymous WNBA executive told Newsweek she should demand a trade and called the Sky “probably the worst-run organization in the league,” adding pressure on the front office.
• Media analysis is floating possible trade destinations, with Dallas, Seattle and Phoenix cited as potential suitors if Chicago explores a move in the offseason.
• Despite the turmoil, Reese has delivered a breakout year, averaging 14.7 points with a league-leading 12.6 rebounds and improved shooting at 45.8 percent.
