The Sky ended up suspending Reese for half a game on Sunday for the Sky vs the Las Vegas Aces tip-off. While Reese's comments were not welcomed by many, she found some supporters, even one outside her team.

According to the Dallas Hoops Journal, an anonymous WNBA executive blasted the Sky for suspending Reese and even suggested that she leave Chicago.

"You're gonna suspend your best player just because she's putting pressure on you to get better? That was embarrassing to see," the exec said. "I think Chicago will try to trade her this offseason, but if they don't, she should request a trade."

In her sophomore year, Angel Reese's numbers have seen big improvements on both ends. She is stacking better numbers on the board, both on offense and defense. In 34 games this season, she has averaged 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
