Reese urges Sky to add good and great players or risk leaving Chicago

Angel Reese publicly challenged the Chicago Sky’s direction on Wednesday, saying the franchise must add "good" and "great" players or she may consider leaving, remarks that have prompted reports of unrest in the locker room and a planned team meeting. Reese made the comments in an interview with the Chicago Tribune as the Sky sit near the bottom of the WNBA standings at 9-30 and approach the offseason with the roster facing widespread scrutiny.

"I am very vocal about what we need and what I want," Reese told the Tribune.
