Reese is one technical foul away from receiving a one-game suspension, which the short-handed Sky cannot afford.

Mid-conversation, Brennan asserted that while Angel Reese is an “incredible rebounder” and “a powerful motor,” she “is not selling out arenas in Chicago; Caitlin Clark is. Angel needs Caitlin to sell out. These are facts.”

Ice Cube revealed to TMZ the reason he offered five million dollars to Caitlin Clark instead of Angel Reese to play in the BIG3

This has to hurt Angel’s pride … Ice Cube and his BIG3 basketball league offered a $5 million contract to Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark for her to come play for the new operation, with Clark turning down the deal ultimately.

Ice Cube made it clear that he could not offer Angel Reese the same $5 million proposal that he offered to Caitlin Clark.

Ice Cube, who helped start the BIG3 basketball league, has explained why they didn't give Angel Reese, a WNBA player, a $5 million offer like the one they gave to Caitlin Clark. In a chat with TMZ Sports, Ice Cube said the main reasons were differences in sponsor backing and how much they thought each player would boost the league.

Reese has been nursing a back injury this week and was ruled out for the game against Indiana as well. Joining both of them on the inactive list is rookie guard Hailey Van Lith, who was drafted 11th overall by Chicago in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
