Punishment Is Coming For WNBA Star Angel Reese
Punishment Is Coming For WNBA Star Angel Reese originally appeared on The Spun. Punishment is coming for Chicago Sky star Angel Reese on Sunday evening. Reese, 23, was named an All-Star for the second straight year. Reese, a first round pick out of LSU, is averaging 12 points and 12 rebounds per game. She is one of 12 reserves selected to the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. Advertisement But a fine is probably coming. Reese, who scored 16 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in a 80-75 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, was not happy with the league's officiating. Reese took to social media to immediately blast the WNBA for their officiating crew. She's not happy. Angel Reese speaks Reese, who starred collegiately at LSU and Maryland, blasted the WNBA for missing some calls in the Chicago Sky's loss to the Minnesota Lynx. "diabolical," she wrote, sharing a photo of a missed foul call. She added: "DO BETTER." Reese knows that a fine is coming. Leagues don't take kindly to players or coaches openly criticizing the officiating. Advertisement But Reese appears to think that it's worth it. The Chicago Sky star made it clear that she was going to call out the WNBA's officials until things get better. Reese, though, is hardly the first notable WNBA figure to call out the league. Indiana Fever head coach Stephnaie White blasted the league's officials earlier this year. White was bothered by how the officials handled a Fever vs. Sun game. "When the officials don't get control of the ballgame, and they allow that stuff to happen ... this is what happens," White told the media. "You've got competitive women, who are the best in the world at what they do, right? And when you allow them to play physical, and you allow these things to happen, they're going to compete. And they're going to have their teammates' backs. It's exactly what you'd expect ― right? ― out of fierce competition ... I started talking to the officials in the first quarter, and we knew this was gonna happen." Advertisement We'll have to wait and see what the league does in response to Reese's criticism.

Caitlin Clark's All-Star Coach Voices Complaint to the WNBA
Caitlin Clark's All-Star Coach Voices Complaint to the WNBA originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Cheryl Reeve and the Minnesota Lynx secured their 17th win of the 2025 WNBA season on Sunday night, defeating Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky, 80-75. Advertisement Napheesa Collier and Courtney Williams, both named 2025 All-Stars, led the way for the Lynx in the comeback win. Leading Minnesota from 14 down, Collier tallied 21 points and seven rebounds. Williams added 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists. While the Lynx, who hold the WNBA's best record at 17-2, had two players named as All-Stars, teams like the Indiana Fever (9-9) and the Seattle Storm (12-7) have three. Included on the All-Star roster is Reeve, who will coach Caitlin Clark's team. The Fever point guard led all players in fan voting, earning her a captain spot for the July 19 All-Star game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Indianapolis). Collier will captain the opposing team, coached by the New York Liberty's Sandy Brondello. Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve questions the All-Star voting result.© Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Following Sunday's win in Chicago, Reeve voiced her frustration with the upcoming All-Star Game, expressing disappointment that only two players from the WNBA's top team were selected as All-Stars. Advertisement "I don't know why only Phee and Courtney are All-Stars when you have the best team in the league by a few games," Reeve said. "There are teams that are below us in the standings by a lot that have three All-Stars. Historically, teams at the top get a minimum of three, oftentimes four. Really disappointing. Really, really happy for Courtney.' Notably, Lynx guard Kayla McBride, averaging 15.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists (prior to Sunday), did not get an All-Star nod. And Reeve was disappointed with this as well. "We are disappointed that the coaches voted for three guards in their selection for All-Stars," she finished. Advertisement The three All-Star reserve guards voted in by coaches over McBride include the Mystics' Sonia Citron, the Storm's Skylar Diggins and the Dream's Rhyne Howard. As Reeve mentioned above, in 2024, the first-placed Liberty finished with three All-Stars. The season before, the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces had four.
