It started as lighthearted social media banter, quickly morphing into a public back-and-forth that revealed deeper cracks between Chicago Sky standout Angel Reese and her Unrivaled teammate Kahleah Copper.
While the two WNBA stars previously shared chemistry on the court, their recent exchange on X suggested that off-court tensions may have quietly been building for months, and now, they're on full display.
Angel Reese and Kahleah Copper put their online beef on display
It all began when Copper tweeted, '@Reese10Angel just miss me.. I'll be in Chicago soon 😘,' to which Reese replied sharply, 'nah, can we meet outside of the workplace? damn.' That seemingly playful reply took a sudden turn when Copper responded with, 'Lol you actually replied smarta**ssss!! And don't even start making up stuff on the net I'm not playing wit youuuuuu ☹️.'

Reese didn't back down, escalating with, 'you right. IM STILL OFF YOU.'
Tensions appeared to predate this interaction. Responding to an earlier June 8 tweet from Copper that read, 'maaannnn @kalanibrown21 gon' have @Reese10Angel mad at meeeee 😢😭,' Reese exposed a more serious rift:
'oh yeah i forgot to reply to this too… you been acting real shady since unrivaled too. you didn't even want to speak in phoenix and had to facetime me after smh.'

Even personal grooming wasn't off-limits in the spat. After Copper posted, 'cheating on my eyebrow lady, pray for me yall,' Reese fired back with a stinger, 'i hope she mess them up. thank ya.'
While it's unclear if this feud will bleed into on-court chemistry for the Sky or the Unrivaled league.
Angel Reese recently won the
BET Sportswoman Award
, faces criticism
Angel Reese has faced nonstop criticism this season, and boxer Claressa Shields recently joined the noise. Shields expressed frustration after losing the 2025 BET Sportswoman of the Year award to Reese.
But instead of firing back, the Chicago Sky rookie stayed focused on her game and let her performance speak.
Following a tough loss to the New York Liberty, Reese was asked about the award during a postgame press conference. Still emotional, she opened up and reflected on the moment with honesty and grace, choosing not to respond to the drama.
'It's great. Obviously, this is my third one. Obviously, it really meant something to other people today 'cause it's me.
And I focus on basketball. I come in to work every day and work. I don't complain, I don't care about anything else. I have bad days. I haven't been playing well at all. And I could sit here and just mope around and point the finger, but it's been me,' she shared.
She continued, 'People would die and kill to have this job,' adding, 'being able to play with the best players in the world means a lot to me. I put my all in this sh*t. I do.'
