“Every rejection is a lesson, I will never give up. It’s time to fly high and explore my limits.” Her words reflect a determined spirit and a commitment to continuous growth, suggesting that setbacks have only strengthened her resolve. As speculation mounts about her future in the WNBA, Cardoso’s declaration hints at a desire for new challenges and opportunities that will allow her to push her abilities to their fullest potential.

WNBA Fans Scold Sky Coach Teresa Weatherspoon For Suspect Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso Decision

The Chicago Sky fell to 9-13 on the 2024 WNBA regular season after losing a disappointing defeat to the New York Liberty on Thursday.

If there was one silver lining in the loss, it was that rookie Angel Reese recorded yet another double-double (albeit barely), keeping her historic streak alive.

But fans are blasting Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon for seemingly caring more about Reese getting her record than giving fellow rookie Kamilla Cardoso minutes.

One Sky fan went viral for writing on X, “Benching Kamilla Cardoso and putting her back in immediately after the double double happened is crazy” with three crying emojis.

“Lemme get this straight, Kamilla Cardoso could be at the ESPYs tonight potentially collecting a major award with her former college teammates, but instead she spent half the night riding the bench because the Sky coach wants to pad Angel’s stats?” said another.

A third fan wrote, “Here we go again….. Teresa Weatherspoon benching Kamilla Cardoso ..to pad Angel Reese stats. Then took Reese out when she got a double double.”

This is not a good look for Weatherspoon or the Sky.

They’ll have a chance to right this wrong against the Liberty on Saturday.

Angel Reese Ignites Fury Again After Responding to Stat-Padding Accusations Despite Breaking WNBA Record

Another day. Another game. Same story. The ghost of stat-padding continues to haunt the seventh overall pick, Angel Reese. Despite denying the claims multiple times about the same and even getting support from the WNBA legends like Rebecca Lobo, the Chicago Sky rookie cannot prove her innocence to the basketball fans.

Even collecting most rebounds in the league’s history for single season and leaving Sylvia Fowles behind doesn’t seem to work. Trying to salvage the situation once again, the big cleared her stance. Only to find the loyalists get back at her yet another time.

In her postgame presser, Angel Reese explained her focus on rebounds. “Coming into it, I just knew my motor. Offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds is something that I know I can always do. I knew that was gonna translate right away. That’s something that a lot of players don’t wanna do. A lot of people think it is because I get my own rebounds, statistically, it’s not. A lot of people think it is because I’m the tallest on the court, I’m not the tallest on the court.”

 

The LSU alum has been under a lot of scrutiny recently. According to many fans, she adds to her points and rebounds by grabbing her own boards. Not to mention, her subpar efficiency from just 5 feet away from the rim has also been a concern for many Chicago fanatics. However, the Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon has previously mentioned how her relentlessness to fight for the ball and hunger to get it at any cost is what keeps her dominant in the paint. She had also talked about Reese’s knack for collecting a board.

Resonating with the coach, Angel Reese added, “Just being able to go down there and being able to bang, doing a lot of things that a lot of people don’t wanna do. Defense and rebounding win championships and I want championships at every level by just doing that. Coming into the league, before I sharpen up on my offensive thing, just being able to come in and have that on my shoulder is something that I can always do. It’s something that I knew would translate.”
