Angel Reese is finally back on the court.

Reese has returned to action for the Chicago Sky after a two-game absence due to a back injury.

Reese went through shootaround in Washington on Tuesday afternoon as the Sky prepared for a tough test against the Mystics. It would then be confirmed that Reese would indeed play.

She will bring a welcome boost to Chicago after the Sky lost the past two games by a combined 53 points. It did not start out very well.

In the first half, Angel Reese wasted no time getting to work.

She received the ball down low as she went against Mystics star Kiki Iriafen, but her first shot was wild, as it caught the bottom of the rim. As she always does, Reese got the rebound, and although she got her shot blocked, a whistle was blown for a foul as she went crashing to the court.

 

The female commentators could be heard laughing at Reese in the booth.


In the first half of the game, Reese played almost 18 minutes and went 3 from 11 from the floor and one for three from the three-point line as she scored 11 points and brought down eight rebounds. She also added two assists, 1 steal, and one block.

Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is back on the court again after a back injury, just when the team needs her the most.

The Chicago Sky have been going through a rough patch, losing their last five games and dropping to a 7-18 record this season.

The absence of their star, Angel Reese, in the last two games due to a nagging back issue, has been a tough blow. In fact, without her period has been rough on the franchise.

When Angel Reese hasn’t been on the court in the last two seasons, the Sky have a 1-8 record without her. This stat highlights just how vital her presence is for Chicago’s competitiveness in every game.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
