There are always midseason moves that happen for every team in every major sports league. So it was nothing out of the ordinary to see the Chicago Sky make a move on Friday to trim the roster a bit. But the front office surely didn’t expect the backlash they got for the transaction.
The team waived Kysre Gondrezick midway through her first season with the team. Gondrezick had only played 16 minutes across 16 games for the Sky up until this point. From a basketball perspective, the move makes sense: Gondrezick hasn’t made an impact to this point in her WNBA career despite being the 4th overall pick by the Indiana Fever in 2021.

While Gondrezick deals with the tough news, she at least has a high-profile boyfriend to fall back on at the moment. She has been rumored to be dating Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown for a little while, and she was seen with him during the Celtics’ championship parade last week.
We’ll see if Gondrezick gets picked up by another team, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if this is the end of her WNBA career, given that she was out of the league for the past two years before 2024

Once again, Caitlin Clark, a rookie for the Indiana Fever, showed her frustration against the stellar performance of Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky superstar, in a closely contested game. Surely the pressure was immense, as it was one of the most anticipated games of the season with tickets averaging $351 according to Vivid Seats, but it was clear that Reese handled the tension on the court better.
It has often been made clear that there is no rivalry between them and that they are simply two players trying to give their best in their rookie year as professionals in the WNBA. However, this time Caitlin Clark visibly displayed her frustrationat Angel’s impressive moves, leaving her visibly discouraged and somewhat frustrated.
The truth is that neither team disappointed, as Angel joined A’ja Wilson as the only players in the WNBA this season with multiple games of at least 15 points and 15 rebounds. Meanwhile, Clark played every minute and finished 5-of-11 shooting, including 5-of-9 from beyond the arc, with six rebounds, four steals, and five turnovers.
“I’m a dog,” Reese told ESPN after the game. “You can’t teach that,” she confidently stated, emphasizing her determination to become the best in the league at any cost, following a stellar performance for her and the Chicago Sky.
The riveting rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese continues to mesmerize fans with each electrifying showdown, showcasing the fierce competition and raw talent of these rookie sensations. Beyond the buzzer-beaters and clutch plays, they consistently deliver jaw-dropping performances that amplify the thrill of women’s basketball.
