Angel Reese Targeted by Fans in Shocking Incident at Wintrust Arena

Chicago Sky star Angel Reese faced an unexpected and disturbing moment during a recent game at Wintrust Arena when several fans allegedly threw objects toward her as she walked to the bench. Witnesses reported seeing cups and small items tossed in Reese’s direction, prompting a swift response from arena security.

The incident unfolded amid growing tensions surrounding Reese, who has become one of the WNBA’s most polarizing figures. While she has drawn praise for her talent and confidence, Reese has also faced sharp criticism online, often in comparison to Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark.

“Fans should never cross the line like this,” one spectator told local reporters. “Disagree with her game if you want, but this isn’t how you show it.”

No injuries were reported, and Reese completed the game, though her frustration was visible. The WNBA has yet to release a formal statement. Advocacy groups have since called for increased security and accountability, stressing that athletes deserve respect regardless of public opinion.
