Shortly after the Chicago Sky lost their eighth consecutive game, Michaela Onyenwere was critical of her team’s mindset. Following Chicago’s 83-67 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, Onyenwere said the team lacked the “will to win.”“We have to be better,” Onyenwere told reporters. “I mean, all around, we have to be more locked in, more focused, execute the game plan much, much better. There just has to be a will to win, and we don't have that right now, on a consistent basis, and we haven't the entire season.”However, Onyenwere made it clear she’s not giving up on the rest of the campaign.“So it's looking at ourselves individually, collectively, and figuring it out, cause we do have 17 or so games left. We can't just give up on the season, and we haven't, and I know we won't, but we gotta figure it out urgently.”Her comments didn't go down well with Angel Reese’s fanbase, who view this skid and locker room mentality as obstacles to the Sky star's development. Some supporters called for her to request a trade.“Did she just say, we haven’t had the will to win ALL season. I need A5 to request a trade. I can’t do this anymore,” @iriscentral_ wrote. Cabria Lewis @lewis_cabr15026LINKI saw that in the lynx game where angel scored 22 points. It seemed like she was the only one who wanted to win. Playing injured and everything. jess. @KISSITBTTRLINKangel please hit the big red button. no one would blame you atp.jackie youngs arms @letmesleepdamnnLINKAnd this is so fucked bc the viewers can literally see they have no will to win and that it’s always AR giving her all that shit is probably so draining HS Unnie @realityloveiLINKthis is so hard to see and I really feel bad, putting their bodies and all but no will because of the GM & coach💔💔Again what Angel has had to go through her 1st 2 years in this league is criminal & malpractice!! No other star player can. For a team sport only so much 1 can doAngel Reese missed Sunday's matchup against Phoenix, sitting out her fourth game in six outings since the All-Star break due to a back injury. In her absence, Kamilla Cardoso stepped up with a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double, while Onyenwere contributed 13 points and three rebounds.The Sky fell to 7-21, sitting just 2.5 games ahead of the league-worst Connecticut Sun.Angel Reese ignites trade rumors after interacting with Phoenix Mercury stars Angel Reese found herself at the center of attention during Sunday’s game between the Phoenix Mercury and the Chicago Sky, despite being sidelined with an injury.
