Although the Chicago Sky failed to make the postseason, Angel Reese has managed to grab the WNBA community’s attention this week.
Reese, a two-time All-Star, averaged 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game for the Sky this season. Towards the end of her sophomore campaign, she admit that she’s not pleased with her supporting cast in Chicago.

“I’m not settling for the same s**t we did this year,” Reese told the Chicago Tribune. “We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a nonnegotiable for me. I’m willing and wanting to play with the best. And however I can help to get the best here, that’s what I’m going to do this offseason to make sure we attract the best of the best, because we can’t settle for what we have this year.”
The Sky disciplined Reese by suspending her for the first half of a regular-season game against the Las Vegas Aces.

Unfortunately for Reese, this season wasn’t nearly as exciting as she’d like it to be. Her squad was tied for the worst record in the league at 10-34. On the bright side, she seems to be enjoying her extended offseason.

On Tuesday night, Reese shared a few photos of her sporting a one-piece swimsuit on Instagram. Her post received over 193,000 likes in just 19 hours.
Reese is no stranger to turning heads in a swimsuit. She’s just two years removed from posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in Los Angeles.
“I had on thong bathing suits and I didn’t think I was going to be comfortable, but [everyone] made me feel really comfortable,” Reese said. “I work out a lot. I embrace my body and who I am and every mark on my body. I probably feel the sexiest in a bathing suit.”

Could Reese be on the move this offseason?
It’s unclear if Reese’s relationship with the Sky has deteriorated to the point where she’ll request a trade this offseason. That hasn’t stopped WNBA fans from speculating about where she could end up.
As of now, the Los Angeles Sparks and Washington Mystics have been mentioned as potential suitors for Reese.
“She needs to get the hell out of there,” an anonymous WNBA executive told Dallas Hoops Journal.
Reese has said that her preference is to stay in Chicago, but we’ve seen crazier things happen in the world of sports. With that said, it wouldn’t shock us at all if she ends up being traded.
