One of Angel Reese’s teammates came to his defense on Tuesday evening after the defeat of the Chicago sky eruption against the title champion of New York Liberty.
New York has a 9-0 sheet to start the season, while the Heaven of Reese fell to 2-6.
After the match, Reese was asked about the online exam she faces.
Reese became emotional by answering the question, that is to say when Ariel Atkins, who spent last season with the mystics of Washington, intervened.

“Can I say something? It is a 23-year-old child, and the quantity of shit she gets daily, she always presents herself. So, whatever the questions you have on our team, in terms of basketball, we appreciate it. All the other nonsense is not relevant,” said Atkins being sitting next to Reese, via ESPN.
“We are here to play basketball. We have trouble at the end of the day. He is a 23-year-old child who is manipulated with grace. Her crown is heavy. So, whatever you want to come to her, she must have a wall. Because if she does not decompose it. Not only because of the appearance, but also the way she does not decompose it.
“She is not content to walk and act like” Oh, I’m that. “She knows who she is, and we don’t decompose her for that.

Fever, Sky Matphus attracts a large audience while a wounded Clark Caitlin encourages the touch
Reese ended up in a rivalry with Caitlin Clark and fans of fever and Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese said she had racism from the two groups last year.
It all started when Reese struck Clark with a taunt “You can’t see me” in the last seconds of the 2023 national championship. Reese then declared that fans looked at women’s basketball “not just because of a person – it’s because of me too.”
During their first game this season, Clark struck Reese with a blatant fault, and Reese had to be selected from Clark. Subsequently, Reese shared a Tiktok who said that she was “dangerous” playing in Indiana against Clark.
The WNBA investigated the allegations of “hateful comments” towards Reese by fever fans who were ultimately “uninized”.
