The Chicago Sky’s dream to build a future around Angel Reese took a serious hit after the 2024 rookie’s comments opened cracks within the locker room. Her comments on her teammates’ poor performances didn’t go well, as they disliked the words used for them. The forward did apologize for her remarks, but the damage was done.
After the management took strict steps, a WNBA executive suggested that Reese should ask for a trade away from the Chicago Sky. While the situation is reaching its boiling point, Candace Parker shared her views on the topic and advised the Sky forward a bit.
Candace Parker Slams Angel Reese’s Comments
Candace Parker never beats around the bush and gets her point across in one go. While her rankings for the WNBA top players were in debate, Parker set the record straight while ranking Reese. She was clear with her message and once again gave her views about the ongoing saga to the point.
Talking on her ‘Post Moves’ podcast, the former champion said that she understands the issues with the struggling teams. But added that those problems should be kept inside the locker room.
“The best advice I ever received was to keep things in-house. You can yell, scream, cuss, do all those things in between these walls, but you can’t bring it out. And once that happens, it’s hard to gain that trust back,” said Parker.
