Angel Reese Won’t EVER allow this to happen again

Описание: Angel Reese made headlines this week after comments she gave to the Chicago Tribune about the Chicago Sky’s future — and the fallout has been massive.
In this video, I walk you through the situation as if you were inside the locker room as a Sky player. From the moment teammates saw the interview to the social media reaction, the players-only meeting, and the eventual suspension, we break down exactly what happened — and what it means for Reese, the Sky, and their future together.

Here’s the timeline:
The Comments: Angel Reese said she wasn’t settling for another year like this, that the Sky needed “great players,” and that only she and Kamilla Cardoso were guarantees on the roster moving forward. She also questioned relying on Courtney Vandersloot at age 36 coming off an ACL tear.

The Reaction: Teammates like Rachel Banham, Ariel Atkins, and Elizabeth Williams responded with mixed emotions — from feeling blindsided to giving Reese the benefit of the doubt. Reese apologized privately and publicly, admitting she needed to be more mindful with her language.

The Fallout: Reese’s words were exaggerated online, but even her exact quotes were damaging. The Sky suspended her for the first half of their matchup against the Las Vegas Aces, calling her comments “detrimental to the team.” This came right after she also served a league suspension for picking up her eighth technical foul of the season.

The Bigger Picture: Angel’s message was directed at the front office — “this isn’t good enough.” And she’s right. But saying it publicly during the season hit teammates hard, and accountability had to follow.

This is also a learning lesson for the Sky as an organization. A PR rep was present during Reese’s Tribune interview — so the idea that the front office was “caught off guard” doesn’t hold up. Someone should have stepped in to manage the fallout.

At the core, this is about accountability. Angel Reese is still young, still learning how to use her platform, and still figuring out where the line is between honesty and harm. But this is also a reset moment — much like her brief absence at LSU in 2023. That time, she came back stronger. Could the same happen here in Chicago?

💬 What do you think: Was the suspension fair? Did the Sky overreact, or was this the right way to hold everyone accountable? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
