CHAOS IN CHICAGO: Angel Reese Under Fire As Critics Claim She’s Faking Injury And Abandoning The Sky

Angel Reese Faces Backlash Over Allegations Of Faking Injury After Missing Chicago Sky Games

The Chicago Sky season is spiraling, and now their biggest star is at the center of explosive controversy. Angel Reese, who hasn’t suited up since July 29, is being accused of something far worse than just struggling with injuries—quitting on her team.

Conservative pundit Jason Whitlock lit the fuse this week, arguing that Reese’s lingering “back injury” is nothing more than a cover story. With the Sky sitting at 8–23 and fading fast from playoff contention, Whitlock says the rookie forward has mentally checked out.

“She’s been day-to-day for weeks with no explanation,” Whitlock blasted. “No timeline, no details. She’s vanished, and I think she’s quit on Chicago.” He even compared her absence to NBA star Kawhi Leonard’s infamous load management—but claimed Reese’s situation looks even worse.

Fans are split. Some believe Reese is protecting her health in a lost season. Others are furious, accusing her of bailing when things got tough. The debate only grew louder after she skipped the Sky’s blowout loss to the Indiana Fever, fueling speculation that her rehab story doesn’t add up.

 

Reese herself has said little, posting only a cryptic message on social media: “In due time.” She was spotted courtside in a hoodie at practice, but her silence has left the storm to rage unchecked.

Whether Reese is battling a serious injury or dodging responsibility, one thing is certain—the drama has taken on a life of its own. With the Sky’s season already crumbling, this scandal might be the final blow to a franchise desperate for stability.
