Chicago Sky Suspend Angel Reese Over Team-Critical Comments

Angel Reese, star forward for the Chicago Sky, has faced multiple suspensions amid a turbulent 2025 WNBA season in which the team holds a 10-30 record. Reese was first suspended for one game by the WNBA after accumulating her eighth technical foul, and subsequently suspended by her team for the first half of a game due to comments she made criticizing the team's performance and expressing frustration with the franchise’s direction. In a recent interview, Reese called for the Sky to acquire better players and openly questioned the current team environment, stating she might have to move in a different direction if improvements are not made. Although she apologized to her teammates and clarified her remarks, the Chicago Sky emphasized accountability and the importance of maintaining respect and focus within the team. Reese has been a standout performer despite the team's struggles, averaging 14.7 points and leading the league with 12.6 rebounds per game, earning her a second All-Star selection. The Sky are working to resolve the situation internally as they look ahead to the offseason and potential roster changes.
