The Chicago Sky defeated the Connecticut Sun by a huge margin. Angel Reese racked up 18 points with 13 rebounds and 4 assists. While she added to the huge margin, it was her apology during the postgame conference that caught everyone’s attention.

The star player apologized for her previous remarks on the team’s structure and functioning. Reese believed that the front office was not doing a great job handling free agency last offseason.

She also stated that Courtney Vandersloot was not young enough to lead the offence, and the head coach, Tyler Marsh, needs to bring certain improvements in handling the team.When asked if she is frustrated during the postgame conference, Reese replied, “I don't think I’m frustrated.

I probably am frustrated with myself right now.” She further added, “I think the language was taken out of context, and I really didn't intentionally mean to put down my teammates, because they've been through this with me throughout the whole year. They've busted their a** just like how I've busted my a**. They've showed up for me through thick and thin in the locker room when nobody could see anything.

Towards the end, Reese concluded saying, “I want to apologize to my teammates, which I already have, about the article and how it was misconstrued, about what was said.

I just have to be better with my language because I know it's not the message, it's the messenger. And understanding what I say can be taken any type of way. So I just have to really be better and grow from this.”
