Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has involved herself in the discourse as players continue to fight for better rights from the league. This primarily centers on higher pay, with the players’ union demanding significantly higher annual salaries (the current super max contract is at $250,000 per year).

It’s no coincidence that Angel Reese sat out on the same night that the Chicago Sky suffered their worst defeat of the season. This came in the form of a 95-57 blowout loss against the Seattle Storm at Wintrust Arena on Thursday night.
