Angel Reese has been suspended for half a game by the Chicago Sky after making outspoken remarks demanding the franchise sign “great players” to avoid another poor season. The two-time All-Star forward criticised the team’s recruitment strategy in an interview. Reese told media she was unwilling to “settle” for mediocrity, calling for urgent roster upgrades. The Sky responded with disciplinary action, citing team respect and accountability. Reese, averaging 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds this season, has already missed the Indiana Fever game.
