Chicago Sky fans are very upset for non-basketball reasons after team cut Angel Reese’s teammate

Kysre Gondrezick became a fan favorite, mostly because of her looks.

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.

Kysre Gondrezick is adored by fans

Despite the move being logical, a lot of fans were very mad to hear the news. The reason? They are very attracted to her.

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.

Angel Reese is celebrating her 22nd birthday this Monday.

The former LSU star, who’s now in the WNBA, is coming off her preseason debut for the Chicago Sky and is looking forward to the start of her professional career after helping the Tigers win a championship in 2023.

Reese was drafted No. 7 overall last month and hopes to be just as productive in the league as she was in college.

In the meantime, she’s showing off what her version of 22 looks like, having set the internet ablaze with birthday snaps.
