Angel Reese, forward for the Chicago Sky, publicly criticized the WNBA's officiating following her team's loss to the Minnesota Lynx on July 6, 2025. Reese highlighted the low number of free throw attempts by the Sky, which totaled only eight during the game, as a point of frustration. She expressed her dissatisfaction both on social media and during a post-game press conference, stating, "I don’t give a damn if I get fined because that sh** is cheap, and I am tired of this sh**." Reese called for improvements in the league's officiating, emphasizing that the situation "has to be fixed." Her comments have added to a growing chorus of players voicing concerns about inconsistent and inadequate officiating in the WNBA this season. Reese was also recently named an All-Star, underscoring her status as a high-profile figure within the league.
