Angel Reese alludes to disconnect with Sky in return from back injury

The Sky’s Angel Reese is happy to be back on the court — she went through warmups and is a game-time decision against the Storm — but a bigger issue is looming.

Before the game Reese was asked how her recovery process went and said, “I’ll speak on that after the season.”

And when addressing her return she said, “Put all the bulls— to the side, I wanna hoop.”

During Reese’s absence the Sky provided very few details on her injury and timetable, just saying that she’s “day-to-day” and “progressing.”

While she’s returned to the fold more recently, she missed a home game and two road trips with the team over the last couple weeks.

Reese has only played two games since the All-Star break. The last time she played was July 29 on the road against the Mystics.

After that game she said: “It was ugly, very ugly for me, but I tried to push through as much as I could for my teammates because I know they need me out there.”

It’s not yet clear what the disconnect is between Reese and the organization. But her comments revealed that the recovery process did not go smoothly.
