Angel Reese's Candace Parker Sky Retirement Shirt Refusal Raises Eyebrows

It seems that there's a chance Reese might have also caught wind of what Parker said, given a decision she made on August 25.

Angel Reese Doesn't Wear Candace Parker Pregame Sky Retirement Shirt

Parker was back in Chicago on Monday night, as her No. 3 jersey was getting retired at halftime of the Sky's home game against the Las Vegas Aces.

To celebrate this, the Sky players were all wearing Candace Parker shirts with the No. 3 on the back while warming up. Well, every Sky player aside from Angel Reese.

This was shown with a video from X user @teee_que, who posted the Sky warming up while Reese was still wearing her jacket.

There were several other videos depicting Reese not wearing the shirt, including one during Chicago's pregame player introductions.

X user @allthedogspleaz reposted the WNBA's video of the Sky's starting five getting announced, where Reese can be seen not wearing the shirt. The post's caption was, "I can’t get over Angel Reese covering up the t-shirt everyone is wearing to celebrate Candace Parker, just because CP gave her objective basketball opinion on Reese, and she didn’t like it.

"You don’t disrespect the GOAT and your elders like this."

One can't say for certain why Reese isn't wearing the shirt. But many fans on social media are convinced it's a byproduct of what Parker ranked her in the aforementioned video last month.

After Parker tripled down on her tier ranking during a Post Moved podcast episode with Aliyah Boston, Reese made an X post that wrote “Clout is one helluva DRUG. Like it really gets to a point."

Fans believed this was in reaction to what Parker said about her. And Reese not wearing the Parker retirement shirt on Monday could further suggest there's a disconnect between these two.
