Sky All-Star Angel Reese boarded a private jet for a postseason trip hours after missing Chicago’s 91-86 season finale loss to the Liberty on Thursday night, as seen in a video on her TikTok page.
Reese, who missed the Sky’s final three games of the season due to a lingering back injury, posted a TikTok video of her and her friend embarking on a getaway amid the star forward’s strained relationship with the team.
“Them: Didn’t the season just end 6 hours ago,” Reese captioned the video, which showed the besties dancing on the plane.
Reese, 23, showed off her Chanel sunglasses and Hermès Birkin bag in other snapshots posted to her Instagram story.
She sported a Juicy tracksuit while boarding the plane.
The Reebok athlete is at the center of trade rumors as she not played since her team-imposed half-game suspension for “statements detrimental to the team” in the Sky’s 80-66 loss to the Aces on Sunday.
Reese sat out the second half of that game due to the same back injury that forced her to miss seven games in July.
Reese,Chicago’s No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, was suspended by the Sky for statements she made in a recent interview with the Chicago Tribune, expressing her frustration with the franchise. The suspension came after she publicly apologized to her teammates.
“I’m not settling for the same s–t we did this year,” Reese told the Tribune. “We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a non-negotiable for me. We can’t settle for what we have this year.”
Reese has two years left on her rookie contract before becoming a restricted free agent.
She was the WNBA’s single-season leader in rebounds per game (12.6) for the second straight year this season.
