"Reese wants out of Chicago": Angel Reese's blunder sparks fan frenzy as disengaged Sky superstar hands ball to rival on inbound play

Angel Reese was in action during the Chicago Sky's 91-78 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Monday night. While the star forward put up another solid individual performance, one bizarre moment stood out and caught the attention of WNBA fans.

With over a minute left in the second quarter, Reese stepped in to inbound the ball but appeared unusually disengaged. She seemed unaware of her teammates' positions, and without looking, carelessly passed the ball directly to a Lynx player. The mistake led to an uncontested 3-pointer, shifting the momentum in Minnesota’s favor.

The blunder quickly went viral on social media, with fans calling out Reese for the unforced error. Many criticized the two-time All-Star for her lapse in focus at a crucial point in the game.

"Reese wants out of Chicago and shipped to a legit playoff team. Any contender with her collecting “mebounds” and distributing to arc snipers would be a title contender," a fan said.

Angel Reese is terrible at basketball, lazy, and only put in there for some reason.

She doesn't realized that isn't an assist.
