Sky GM Says Angel Reese Will Remain on Roster as Team 'Moves On'

The team leader presented the matter as resolved following Reese’s suspension for critical comments, with a back injury sidelining her to end the season.

Overview

  • General manager Jeff Pagliocca said Reese is on the roster "until I hear differently" and described ongoing conversations with her camp as productive.
  • Reese apologized to teammates and publicly after being disciplined for comments the Sky labeled detrimental to the team.
  • She did not play the final three games, with the Sky listing a back injury following a half-game suspension.
  • Despite the turmoil, Reese averaged 14.7 points and a league-best 12.6 rebounds as Chicago finished 10-34 and went 1-13 without her.
  • Reese has two years left on her rookie deal, and league CBA talks with an Oct. 31 deadline and incoming expansion could fuel an active offseason.
