It had everything to do with a WNBA social media post that promoted one preseason game and not all preseason games.\u00a0And so I simply said that.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And by the way, the Minnesota Lynx are playing the Chicago Sky, which also had some popular player in Angel Reese that people were interested in. And it simply wasn&#8217;t posted on their account.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reeve was far from done. She then turned her attention to Brennan, whom she is now accusing of painting her as the villain in her story.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Christine Brennan were being thorough and a legitimate reporter in this situation, she would have gotten full context. But it didn&#8217;t fit the narrative,&#8221; Reeve said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Christine Brennan likes to have a villain in her storytelling. I am Christine Brennan&#8217;s villain. That&#8217;s what she&#8217;s going to, that&#8217;s the sword she&#8217;s going to die on. And it&#8217;s a fiction, the stuff that she has written about me and my interest in Caitlin Clark being on or off the (national) team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve during a game.\u00a9 Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/59cb7ad44d94849780f48b47d9b85b4c.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve during a game.\u00a9 Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>Reeve also touched on Brennan&#8217;s accusation about the former&#8217;s role in not including Clark in the national team for the Paris Olympics last year, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/wnba\/all-fever\/wnba-legend-rebecca-lobo-reacts-cheryl-reeve-viral-caitlin-clark-comments\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:a whole controversy;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">a whole controversy<\/a> on its own.
