Earlier today, Angel Reese demonstrated her unwavering support for WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes amidst a growing feud involving Nancy Lieberman and rookie star Caitlin Clark. Reese, known for her dynamic play on the court, made headlines off the court by extending a gesture of solidarity to Swoopes, who has been embroiled in social media controversies and disputes over recent commentary. Reese’s actions came at a critical moment, providing Swoopes with the backing she needed during a challenging time.
There is nothing but love between Sheryl Swoopes and Chicago Sky star Angel Reese after the pair shared a picture on social media. Swoopes was one of the 18,000 people in attendance at T-Mobile Arena in Nevada as the Sky took on the Las Vegas Aces.
Reese delivered another stellar performance, finishing the game with 12 points and 16 rebounds. It was her 25th double-double of the season, though it wasn’t enough to help Chicago to victory, as they fell 90-71 to the Aces.
Nevertheless, that didn’t stop Reese from taking selfie alongside Swoopes, which she later shared via Instagram Stories.
“TEARS, LAUGHTER, AND SMILES WITH THE GOAT TODAY WAS MUCH NEEDED,” Reese wrote in her post.
“LOVE YOU FOREVER @AIRSWOOPES,” the former LSU Tigers star added.
The defeat means the Sky are now winless in their last seven games, and now sit tied in the eighth spot with an 11-22 record with the Atlanta Dream, meaning their playoff hopes sit in the balance.
Swoopes in the headline
While Swoopes was all but happy to take a selfie with Reese, she has been in the headlines for a very different reason in recent days.
Never one to hold back with an opinion, Swoopes was criticized by Stephen A. Smith when she failed to mention Caitlin Clark’s name when listing the reasons for the Indiana Fever’s recent improved play.
“You know good and damn well, you had no business talking about the Indiana Fever without mentioning Caitlin Clark,” said Smith.
