Reese’s impressive performance on the court has made her a highly sought-after player, drawing interest from multiple teams. As the Sky look to reconfigure their lineup and strategy, management faces a critical decision: leverage Reese’s value in a trade or work to retain her amidst the uncertainty.
As the offseason approaches, the situation will be closely monitored by fans and analysts alike. The outcome could have significant implications for both Reese’s career and the direction of the Sky, making this a pivotal moment in the franchise’s journey.

The move isn’t sitting well with Sky star Angel Reese whose relationship with her coach is very strong and goes beyond basketball.
“I’m heartbroken,” she began. “I’m literally lost for words knowing what this woman meant to me in such a pivotal point in my life. She was the only person that believed in me. The one that trusted me. Many don’t even know what it’s like to be a black woman in sports when nobody believes in you. You had a tough job. All the crazy circumstances that we went through this year & when your back was against the wall, you always believed. I came to Chicago because of YOU. You were an unsung hero in my life. We built a relationship in a short amount of time that will last forever.”
In the aftermath of the news, the aforementioned Reese, who led the league in rebounding at (13.1) per game, took to social media to express her feelings.
Coming into the league this past season, many questioned if Reese could actually play at the WNBA level. Reese quickly put that to rest, displaying the toughness, grit and rebounding prowess that made her a star at LSU.
One of her biggest supporters was TSpoon, who believed in her from the jump, and that helped propel Reese to leading the league in rebounding.
Per reports, there was a disconnect between TSpoon and the players. Chemistry issues is also allegedly the reason the team moved sharpshooter Marina Mabrey to the Connecticut Sun during the Olympic and All-Star break.
That move along with a noticeable change in style of play and some questionable in-game coaching decisions seem to be the two biggest reasons for TSpoon’s removal as head coach.
