Angel Reese Suspended One Game as Sky Grapple With Fallout From Public Roster Critique

The All-Star’s eighth technical triggered an automatic ban, sharpening focus on Chicago’s offseason overhaul.

Overview

  • Reese told the Chicago Tribune the Sky must add “good” and “great” players and suggested she could “move in a different direction” if the team does not improve.
  • Multiple reports said teammates were upset by the remarks, a players-only meeting was planned, and head coach Tyler Marsh said the matter was addressed in-house.
  • After an 88-64 win over the Sun, Reese apologized and said her language was taken out of context and not intended to put down teammates.
  • The WNBA upheld an automatic one-game suspension after Reese’s eighth technical foul, ruling her out of Friday’s game against the Fever.
  • Chicago has been eliminated from playoff contention, Reese is under contract likely through 2027, and she said she will help recruit top free agents to spur an aggressive offseason.
