Angel Reese watches the Fever collapse and sparks theories about her future
Angel Reese, far from the hardwood but not from the media spotlight, left an Instagram message that didn’t go unnoticed:
“Currently rubbing my feet while watching the playoffs,” she wrote, adding a melting-face emoji. A seemingly innocent phrase, but loaded with intention.
The playoff mirror: Reese looks outward and questions inward
While the rest of the league battles for a ticket to the Finals, Angel Reese is using the postseason as a thermometer to evaluate her place in Chicago.
The Sky finished with a devastating 10-34 record, tied for the worst in the league alongside the Dallas Wings, and the young star made it clear her ambition doesn’t fit in a directionless rebuild.
In the final stretch of the regular season, she didn’t hesitate to point out internal shortcomings, hinting that some teammates would not return in 2025 and that the front office needed to act if they wanted to compete.
Her numbers back her demands: 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and nearly 46% shooting. Elite stats for a 23-year-old who doesn’t want to watch the playoffs on TV again.
Rumors, movement, and an unexpected possible destination
The buzz surrounding Angel Reese potential exit has intensified after the team canceled exit interviews.
Among the names emerging as potential destinations, one stands out: the New York Liberty. After a premature elimination despite a star-studded roster led by Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart, the franchise needs renewed energy in the paint, and Reese could be the missing piece.
