    Angel Reese, Sky Coach Stunned Silent Amid Uncomfortable WNBA Press Conference Mishap

    By Grant Young,

    5 hours ago

    The Chicago Sky suffered an 84-71 defeat to the Seattle Storm on Sunday.

    While the game's final score makes it seem like it was a blowout, the contest was actually extremely close until the Storm pulled away in the final few minutes.

    Sky rookie Angel Reese finished the game with 17 points and 14 rebounds in 40 minutes played. This set the WNBA record for the 14th consecutive double-double by any player in league history.

    Yet, one awkward moment from the Sky's postgame press conference is raising a lot of eyebrows.

    At one point in the press conference, Reese was being asked a question by a reporter on Zoom when a heated argument about an "intimate relationship" took over the question asker's audio.

    The Chicago Tribune's Julia Poe has since noted that the sound caused by a live audio feed of a slightly risque scene from the "Big Bang Theory" on WGN on the Zoom feed.

    Reese, Sky teammate Marina Mabrey, and Chicago head coach teresa Weatherspoon were initially confused and then stunned about what they were hearing.

    At the end, Reese appears to be mouthing the words, "somebody's getting fired" as a result of the uncomfortable mishap.

    Certainly a strange moment from Sunday's presser.
