Chicago Sky head coach storms out of press conference after Angel Reese and Co. lost to WNBA-worst Mystics
Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon was spotted storming out of a press conference after Angel Reese and Co. lost to the Washington Mystics – the last-place team in the WNBA – on Friday night.
The 58-year-old, rookie head coach, who was already irritated with her team’s display in its narrow, 83-81 loss, walked out on reporters after just four minutes of questions, as the press conference seemed to have further put her into a bad mood.
The question that made Weatherspoon boil over came when she was asked: ‘This next stretch of games, against the Fever and Wings, how are you going to use this as a measuring stick to assess whether not maybe some changes need to happen?’
Earlier in the press conference, the same reporter had asked Weatherspoon if she was considering a change in her starting lineup due to the team’s 4-8 record, as the Mystics took advantage of a 20-6 start to set the tone for the remainder of the game.
‘I’m not thinking of that. I’m thinking about going and winning game. We’ll figure it out,’ answered the former WNBA guard the first time the variation of the question came up.

Angel Reese and Co. will look to bounce back against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever on Sunday
In 2020, she was named as an assistant coach of the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans.
Three years later, she left the men’s game before joining the Sky in October.
However, Reese and Co. have yet to hit the ground running under ‘T-Spoon,’ losing five of their last six games.
But they’ll look to bounce back against Caitlin Clark’s Fever after losing their last game against their rival, 71-70, earlier this month.
