Angel Reese Sends 10-Word Message After WNBA's Announcement on Tuesday
Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has been playing some of the best basketball of her WNBA career. Over her last six games, the 6-foot-3 forward is averaging 15.8 points, 13.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists. She is also converting in a much-improved 47.2% of her field goals in that stretch.

While Chicago has just two wins over this dominant six-game stretch from Reese, and is just 5-11 overall on the season, there is reason for optimism that things can turn around. On Tuesday, Reese's good form was officially recognized by the WNBA when the league announced she had been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

For Reese, this was her second career Player of the Week honor, and much-deserved recognition for her recent play. Reese averaged 19.7 points and 17.0 rebounds this past week, joining Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson who took home the Western Conference honors.
Reacting to this, Reese delivered a strong message on X.

'God will never give me a storm I can't handle," she placed in quotations.
Chicago is now entering one of its toughest tests of the season against a 14-2 Minnesota Lynx team. Sitting atop the WNBA standings, Minnesota will be a challenging opponent for Chicago, but one that will provide a unique opportunity to see how the team lines up against the league's best.
For Reese, she will look to continue her strong play that earned her Player of the Week honors. On the season, she is averaging 12.4 points and 12.6 rebounds.

Sparks' social media account takes swipe at Fever's Sophie Cunningham over WNBA expansion remarks
The Los Angeles Sparks piled onto the Indiana Fever on Saturday night following their 89-87 win. The Sparks' social media account took a swipe at their opponents and used Sophie Cunningham's comments about WNBA expansion as its premise. "List of cities Indiana has beef with: Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles," the post read. The WNBA announced that Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia would be receiving franchises over the next few years, adding to Toronto and Portland. Cunningham wondered aloud whether fans would want to flock to the arenas in Cleveland and Detroit. "I don't know how excited people are to be going to Detroit or (Cleveland)," she said on July 1. Cunningham clarified her comments while speaking to reporters on Thursday, and defended "blue-collar working people" associated with Cleveland and Detroit. "First of all, I know the history of the WNBA. I know that both of those cities have had teams before, and they got us where we're at, so I'm thankful for that," she said. "All I was really getting at was Broadway, the off-court lifestyle and so I think that is really intriguing. I think Miami's intriguing. That's all I was getting at." "I think it would be fun to get some teams outside of the NBA market.... I think people totally misread the situation. I would never speak down upon middle-class, blue-collar working people. That's where I come from. I'm from Missouri. I get I'm in Indiana, and that's why I'm kind of hinting at Broadway sounds fun, Miami sounds fun. That's all I was getting at." Cunningham also addressed the backlash to her comments. "The people that hype you up are going to be the same people pushing you down. And so, for me, I always just kind of stay right here in the middle. I think that was my personal opinion," she said.
