Following a crushing weekend for the Chicago Sky, where the team was overwhelmed by back-to-back losses and set on fire from beyond the arc by both Phoenix and Atlanta, Angel Reese made a quiet but bold move that’s now making loud headlines.
The rising WNBA star limited comments on her latest Instagram post, a stylish photo captioned, “i could literally throw a fit everyday if i wanted.” It wasn’t just fashion-it was a statement.
With the Sky tumbling near the bottom of the standings and plagued by injuries, frustration is mounting. Reese, once again under the microscope, endured heavy criticism after two underwhelming performances.
Angel is blocking out the outside noise
Against the Mercury, she didn’t attempt a single shot in the first half and finished with just 9 points and 2 rebounds. Expectations soared heading into the next game, but despite a 10-point, 19-rebound double-double, her shooting woes continued with just 27% from the field.
Still, Angel Reese isn’t letting the noise shake her.
“I don’t worry about what’s going on online,” Reese told reporters. “I get so much love in person, I haven’t ever had a negative encounter in person ever. So people online are behind a keyboard for a reason.”
Angel’s leadership is what Sky needs
That perspective-equal parts grace and grit-has defined the 22-year-old since her LSU days. Whether it’s social media venom or on-court scrutiny, Reese is standing tall and staying focused.
“I trust my work, my teammates trust me,” she added. “That’s all that matters.”
And for a team in desperate need of momentum, that leadership might be just what the Sky need to bounce back. The losses sting, the critics scream, but Angel Reese is still showing up-and sometimes that means filtering out the noise to protect your peace.
For now, the comments are off. But Angel? She’s definitely still on.
