Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese made WNBA history Thursday with her seventh consecutive double-double in a win against the Dallas Wings. But the former LSU star remains contentious with reporters, accusing the media of spinning her words.

“I know how y’all like to twist my words, so I’m just keeping it short and sweet,” Reese said this week in an interview with Chicago Sun-Times columnist Steve Greenberg. “I can’t trust any of y’all. So I’m just letting you know — short and sweet.”

Reese and the Chicago Sky were find earlier in June for breaking WNBA rules on media responsibilities after a 71-70 loss to Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark. Reese received a $1,000 fine for failing to make herself available postgame, while the Sky organization was fine $5,000 for failing to ensure all players complied with WNBA media policies.

While Reese did not provide specific reasoning for her concise responses in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, her postgame remarks this season are often highly publicized. Recently, Reese went viral for the comments she made after receiving a flagrant 1 foul for contact made to Clark’s head while attempting to block a shot during a 91-83 loss on Sunday.

“It’s a basketball play,” Reese said postgame. “I can’t control the refs. They affected the game, obviously, a lot tonight … I’m always going for the ball. Y’all are going to play that clip, what, 20 times before Monday? It’s cool. This clip is going to get out somewhere.”

Officials called a common foul on the floor, but reviewed the play and upgraded the foul to a flagrant 1. The call put Reese into foul trouble as she sat the remainder of the third quarter before picking up her fifth fourth early in the fourth.

“I think we were playing really hard,” Reese said. “I think we went up really strong a lot of times and we didn’t get a lot of calls, and going back and looking at the film, I’ve seen a lot of calls that weren’t made. I guess some people got a special whistle.”

The rivalry between Clark and Reese dates back to the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball national championship game when LSU defeated Iowa to claim its first title in program history. The ex-college stars again went head-to-head during the 2024 NCAA Tournament as the Hawkeyes waged revenge on the Tigers to punch their ticket to the Final Four.

Another rematch between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky is set for Sunday. Clark and Reese are among the early favorites for WNBA Rookie of the Year honors. Reese is averaging a double-double this season with 12.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
