Chicago Sky suspend Angel Reese for first half vs Aces on Sunday

Angel Reese has been suspended by the Chicago Sky for the first half of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Aces.

She was suspended because of comments made during the second-year player’s league-mandated media session.

“This matter has been handled and resolved internally and we are moving forward as a team,” the organization said in a statement.

Reese shared her frustration with the team earlier this week, when telling the Chicago Tribune that she “might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me” if the team didn’t look to improve.

Reese has averaged 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds in 30 games this season. The Sky are 10-30 overall ahead of their road game against the Indiana Fever on Friday.

The All-Star has already retracted her comments and apologized to the team.

Reese was drafted by Chicago in the first round with the seventh overall pick. She’s in her second year of a four-year deal worth $324,383.
