Chicago Sky Cancel Exit Interviews for Reese, Vandersloot, Atkins

The Chicago Sky canceled traditional end-of-season exit interviews for Angel Reese, Courtney Vandersloot and Ariel Atkins, leaving fans and media without direct comments from three of the franchise’s biggest names. Exit interviews are voluntary and players face no WNBA sanctions for skipping them; other teams also limited exit availability this year. Reese’s absence follows a public dispute with the club — including a brief suspension after comments critical of the roster — and she has said she may address fans via her podcast. General manager Jeff Pagliocca says he speaks daily with Reese and that she remains under contract with the Sky. The Sky finished 10-34 despite high-profile additions and trades, intensifying questions about roster construction and the franchise’s offseason direction.
