**Angel Reese’s Turnovers Overshadow Historic Double-Double Achievement in Sky’s Loss**
In a challenging game for the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese recorded a game-high nine turnovers during their 91-68 defeat against the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night. This performance came on the same evening that Reese made history as the first player in WNBA history to achieve multiple streaks of 10 consecutive games with a double-double. Despite contributing 11 points and 11 rebounds, her turnovers became a focal point, leading some fans to humorously suggest she was on a “triple-double watch” late in the match.
One notable turnover occurred in the first quarter when Reese attempted to hand off the ball to a nearby teammate but inadvertently bounced it off her own player. The Lynx quickly capitalized on the mistake, recovering the ball and transitioning it the other way. Fans took to social media to express their frustration, with one user commenting, “Angel Reese doing Angel Reese things. She plays the game so lazily. As a long-time former coach, it makes my skin crawl when players do that.” Another user likened her play to “watching little kids try to do things they saw on TV.”
In the third quarter, Reese faced another turnover when she took too many steps without dribbling, resulting in a traveling call. Observers humorously remarked, “Boy, she traveled into the next city!” and “She got her own travel agent with all that traveling.” The Sky’s loss dropped their record to 7-16, leaving them firmly in fifth place in the WNBA’s Eastern Conference.
Reese has also been vocal about issues beyond the court. At the WNBA All-Star game, she criticized the league’s handling of negotiations with the players’ union regarding a new collective bargaining agreement, describing the proposal as “disrespectful.” She emphasized the importance of being vocal about such matters, stating, “If I sit back, it looks like I don’t care.”
In a candid moment last October, Reese shared her financial struggles, revealing that her WNBA salary was insufficient to cover her living expenses, including an $8,000 monthly rent. “I’m living beyond my means. Hating pays them bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all,” she explained.
As the Sky continue their season, Reese’s performance and her outspoken nature regarding player rights will undoubtedly keep her in the spotlight.
