Ahead of their Thursday face-off against the winless Mystics, reports surfaced that members of the team were harassed outside their D.C. hotel.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WOW!!!

Couldn\u2019t even step off the bus!!!\u201d tweeted Isabelle Harrison on Wednesday, thanking the security team for their swift action.<\/p>\n<p>Fans have been a bit harsh on the Sky lately, especially following Chennedy Carter\u2019s intense collision with Caitlin Clark. Initially, the identity of the harasser was a mystery. Reese was quick to reveal that a player had a camera thrust in her face, and the Chicago Sun-Times later identified Carter as the target of a lone man\u2019s unwanted attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is really outta control and needs to STOP,\u201d Reese tweeted emphatically.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">finding out our teams hotel to pull with a camera as we get off the bus and put it in my teammates face & HARASS her is NASTY WORK. this really is outta control and needs to STOP.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Angel Reese (@Reese10Angel) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reese10Angel\/status\/1798501274746597634?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sky GM Jeff Pagliocca assured that the situation was defused quickly without involving the police.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Getting harassed at our hotel is where the line needs to be drawn.

Carter\u2019s hit on Clark stirred up a hornet\u2019s nest of debate about Clark\u2019s reception in the WNBA. Reese jumped into the fray on Monday, claiming she\u2019s one of the catalysts for the surge in women\u2019s basketball\u2019s popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday saw Reese\u2019s ejection dominate the conversation once more, overshadowing their loss.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Sky have a golden opportunity to redirect the spotlight back to their game and snap out of their slump. With the Mystics floundering at 0-9, losing three of their last four games by double digits, Thursday\u2019s match could be just what they need to get back on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Sky might be sitting at a humble 3-5 after eight games, with a victory drought that\u2019s lasted nearly\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":23773,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[3826],"class_list":["post-635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-sports","tag-angel-reese"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
