One day after Angel Reese was suspended one game by the WNBA, the Chicago Sky added another half-game to her sentence.
Reese will not play in the first half of Chicago’s road game Sunday against the Las Vegas Aces due to “statements detrimental to the team” she made in an interview with the Chicago Tribune.
“The Chicago Sky values the safety, respect and well-being of every player,” the team said in a statement. “We are committed to accountability so our players can stay focused on playing basketball.”
Reese’s team suspension doesn’t kick in until Sunday because she is forced to sit out Friday’s game at the Indiana Fever after accumulating her eighth technical foul of the season.
As for the comments in question, the All-Star forward spoke to the Tribune about the upcoming offseason. Fr
