It could be the nicest question, but it's going to get flipped or put into a different light and perspective," Reese said."I don't wanna do an interview with anybody," the former LSU star continued. "I'd rather take the fine sometimes rather than talking to the media."Reese was fined $1,000 for not making herself available to media interviews following a game vs. the Indiana Fever on June 1, 2024. The Sky was also fined $5,000 for failing to ensure media access.
