Angel Reese’s Mom Catches Attention With Message After Chicago Sky Punishment

Speaking with the Chicago Tribune, she made it clear that changes are needed if the team is to improve.

“I’m not settling for the same [expletive] we did this year,” Reese said. “We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a nonnegotiable for me.” She added that if things do not change, she might “have to move in a different direction.”

Her strong remarks led the Sky to issue disciplinary action. Reese already served an automatic one-game suspension on Friday after receiving her eighth technical foul of the season, and the team later announced she will sit out the first half of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Aces for “statements detrimental to the team.” In a statement, the organization emphasized accountability and a need to move forward.

As the news circulated, Reese’s mother drew attention online with a short post on X: “Highest 2 Lowest .”

Though the post could have referenced a recently released film starring Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington, fans flooded the replies, interpreting it as a subtle shot at Chicago.

“Tell Angel to put in that transfer request!!! We are tired of watching [expletive] sky because of her,” one fan wrote.

“I know that’s right Mama!” another fan added.

“She gone ,” a third fan posted.

“Don’t let them silence you we are supporting your daughter till the end  ❤️‍ Free angel Reese,” a fan said.

What Lies Ahead for Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky

Despite the controversy, Reese’s first two WNBA seasons have been productive. She has been one of the league’s most consistent rebounders and a cornerstone of Chicago’s roster. However, the Sky’s 10-31 record and mounting frustrations make her long-term future uncertain.

Some fans are already calling for a trade, while others believe she should be central to the team’s rebuild. Whether she stays in Chicago or explores a new path, the coming months will be crucial in shaping the next chapter of Reese’s career.
