The Chicago Sky<\/a> and Angel Reese ended the 2025 season on a sour note when the team’s star player said she “might have to move in a different direction and do what\u2019s best for me” if the team does not improve its outlook.<\/p>\n

Reese was suspended by the team for her “detrimental” comments<\/a>, then missed the final three games of the season with what the team called a back injury, causing speculation that the relationship was fractured.<\/p>\n

But Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca said that Reese will be on the team “until I hear differently.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s the direction we’re going to move, is that she’s on the roster,” he told reporters earlier this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Angel is an ascending young talent in this league who’s had two very, very good seasons here in Chicago,” Pagliocca said Friday. “Obviously we went through what we did. I feel like we closed the chapter on it. She spoke to her teammates, she spoke publicly. We moved on as a team. She’s a special player. And I have good conversations with Angel daily, with her team daily. They’re constant, and they’re productive.”<\/p>\n

Reese demanded that the team get better players, saying it was a “nonnegotiable” for her.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not settling for the same s— we did this year,” Reese told the Chicago Tribune<\/a>. “We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That\u2019s a nonnegotiable for me.”<\/p>\n
