While Reese did not provide any further context to the tweet, many fans on X assumed that she was talking about WNBA insider Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports.

On Wednesday, Costabile published an article about Reese's comments about her Sky teammates. Quoting a report from Chicago Tribune's Julie Poe, Costabile wrote that the second-year star has expressed her "dissatisfaction" with the Sky. Further, Reese allegedly called out several of her teammates, including Sky coach Tyler Marsh.

Reese said Chicago should acquire "good players." She also threw shots at the team's point guard rotation. According to the article, Reese questioned two-time WNBA champion Courtney Vandersloot's capability of "returning to form" considering her age and an ACL tear early this season.

Further, Reese doesn't believe in Rachel Banham and Hailey Van Lith's capability to lead a playoff team.

Costabile added context to Poe's report, saying multiple sources have told Front Office Sports that Reese's teammates were unhappy about the Sky star's comments. Costabile also said that "there is a belief among some sources that Reese’s future in Chicago may not be reparable."

Following Chicago's 88-64 win over the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday, Reese apologized to her teammates, saying her "language" was taken out of context.
