Angel Reese is tired of being the butt of everybody’s jokes.

This time, she found herself as a topic of conversation during an entirely different sport.

Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster John Kruk took a shot at the Chicago Sky star during the team’s game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.

The Phillies were leading 6-0 in the top of the sixth inning when NBC Sports Philadelphia play-by-play man Tom McCarthy sent a happy birthday wish to his friend’s wife. Amid his praise, he called his friend a “heck of a basketball player.”

“It’s all because I missed a lot of shots, and he cleaned them up,” McCarthy joked on the broadcast.

Kruk couldn’t help himself, so he replied, “There’s someone here in Chicago that does that a lot,” appearing to reference Reese.

 

McCarthy acknowledged that she “gets her points,” while Kruk fired back, “She gets her rebounds too.”

“We’ll be getting some tweets about that, I’m sure,” Kruk added.

He would be correct as Angel Reese fired off a post on X about an hour after Kruk’s comments went viral.

“Clout is one helluva DRUG. Like it really gets to a point,” she wrote.

Reese was not done as she would head over to TikTok with another message: “To anybody that’s been mean to me, and you’re having a hard time in life, good.”

Angel Reese Finally Returns To The Court

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

Reese posted 22 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocked shots. The ex-LSU star was just 6-of-16 from the field, although she did make 10-of-11 free throws and led her team in scoring.

However, the Sky fell to the Washington Mystics.

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.
