Overview

• Chicago reversed plans for the trio to speak later and informed media the exit sessions will not occur this year.
• Exit interviews are voluntary, so the players face no league consequences for not participating.
• The cancellation intensifies scrutiny of Angel Reese’s status after a half-game suspension on September 7 for critical public comments about the team.
• Reporting diverges on GM Jeff Pagliocca’s stance, with one outlet saying he indicated a 2026 role for Courtney Vandersloot while leaving Reese’s future open, and another quoting him asserting Reese will return next season.
• The developments follow a 10–34 finish and a season marked by injuries and internal friction, even as Reese’s improved play and rising trade value fuel speculation about potential moves.
