Angel Reese Sparks Chicago Sky Crisis: Trade Rumors Heat Up
The WNBA’s Chicago Sky are in turmoil, with rookie star Angel Reese at the center of a locker room storm. What began as a shocking public critique of teammates—calling some “trash” and taking aim at legend Courtney Vandersloot—has escalated into a franchise-wide crisis.
The Sky’s response, a half-game suspension, was widely seen as weak, drawing criticism from league insiders who argued the team failed to protect its players. In turn, Reese removed her “Chi Town Barbie” moniker from Instagram, signaling her desire to sever ties with Chicago.
A WNBA executive publicly suggested Reese demand a trade, calling the Sky the “worst-run franchise” in the league. Off-court drama has reignited debate over her on-court impact, with some analysts arguing her presence may be limiting rookie Kamilla Cardoso’s growth.
Potential trade destinations, including Dallas and Indiana, are now in play, fueling speculation about a seismic roster shakeup. The Sky face a franchise-defining offseason: keep a star with immense marketing value—or risk team culture collapse.
