The Unrivaled’s current success highlights how women’s sports are growing and ready to match men’s levels in the coming seasons. Away from the action, Angel Reese shared a heartfelt reaction to missing Unrivalled 2026. Though she consistently shows support for her champion side, Rose BC, the player’s absence is evident in the team’s performance.
This has generally been the nature of the 24-year-old superstar, as she keeps in touch with her former clubs, teammates, and coaches. The forward recently had her first WNBA coach on her podcast, who shared a crazy story about a traffic stop.
Chicago Sky Former Coach Points Involves Angel Reese In Traffic Stop Tale
Teresa Weatherspoon had a perfect roster to make an impact on the season and move up in the rankings. Though the side could win only 13 games under the 60-year-old coach, the front office parted ways with her even before the season ended. Ironically, she got the news while she was in the market, and later, the text from Reese confirmed it.
On the ‘Unapologetic Angel’ podcast, she narrated the whole story, “A range of funny things happened that day, too. You were the first to text me. I was at the store, and it came out. So I was trying to hurry up and get back… I pull over and read the message, I said, ‘Oh, it’s out.’”
“As I’m leaving, here come the cops, pulled me over… And the craziest thing is when he pulled me over, he rolled the window down. He saw me and said, ‘Go ahead,’ ’cause he had heard it too,” She added.

The former LSU forward also showed her support on social media. In the post on ‘X’, she wrote, “You didn’t deserve this, but I can’t thank you enough. I love you, Tspoon,” While the 2024 and 2025 seasons were much disastrous seasons for the star forward, who is now on a mission to make the upcoming season ‘count’ in her resume.
Angel Reese Aiming For More Productive Season Ahead
The 2023 NCAA Champion entered the league as the top player capable of dominating the paint. She did exactly what everyone wanted to see, but the results didn’t match her performances. At the end of the season, Reese spoke about her dream as her season folded early in September.
“I am very vocal about what we need and what I want. I’d like to be here for my career, but if things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me. But while I am here, I’m going to try to stay open-minded about what I have here and maximize that as much as I can,” Reese told the media.
The Chicago Sky GM made the franchise’s stance clear as Jeff Pagliocca addressed trade rumors involving Angel Reese amid offseason speculation. As of today, the season starts on May 8, and every team will have a fresh roster and energy to aim for the title.
