Chicago Sky star Angel Reese surely wishes she could have a do-over on her no-look pass attempt during Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Lynx.

After helping Team Collier to a WNBA All-Star Game victory over Team Clark, Angel Reese and her Chicago teammates returned to the court to take on the league-best Lynx, who entered the game with a perfect 12-0 home record.

Late in the first quarter, Reese made the mistake of trying to get too fancy with a no-look pass after receiving the ball from her teammate. Maria Kliundikova grabbed the loose ball, and teammate Natisha Hiedeman scored another basket at the other end.

That’s the risk of trying a crafty play in professional sports. It looks genius if it works, but terrible if it fails. Reese took her chance here, but it unfortunately cost her team two points.

At the All-Star Game, Reese tallied six points, nine rebounds and two assists.

Chicago came into tonight’s game with a 7-15 record, four games behind the Washington Mystics and Las Vegas Aces for the final playoff spot. The Sky are running out of time to gain some ground in the postseason race, and it starts with improving the woeful 3-9 record on the road.

Entering tonight’s game in Minnesota, the 23-year-old was averaging 14.0 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

Reese is Chicago’s leading scorer and rebounder, and only Courtney Vandersloot is averaging more assists per contest than the LSU product. Reese has done her part to keep the Sky in the playoff race, but it’s going to take more from her teammates if Chicago is to make a late-season push.

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 away 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.
