We’ve talked about this before: Angel Reese’s dramatic reactions, especially her recent statement, “I’m heartbroken, literally lost for words,” regarding her former coach Teresa Weatherspoon. Despite previous steroid allegations, Reese is stirring up more controversy—and now, she’s pointing the finger at Weatherspoon.
New reports suggest their broken relationship may have cost Weatherspoon her job, though the Chicago Sky claims it was due to the team’s poor performance. However, Reese is hinting there’s more to the story, claiming Weatherspoon disrespected an official.
So, what’s really going on? Angel Reese’s attempt to play the villain—trying to be the Draymond Green of the WNBA—has backfired. Once hailed as a rising star, she’s now at the center of a steroid scandal that has shaken the league.
After months of rumors, it was revealed that Reese allegedly turned to performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) to stay relevant. When the Chicago Sky suspended her pending investigation, the writing was on the wall. Test results reportedly came back positive, and her career nosedived.
Allegedly, Reese used EPO, a serious performance enhancer, along with anabolic steroids—both strictly banned by the WNBA. What’s sad is that Reese didn’t need this. Her rivalry with Caitlyn Clark could have been the next big storyline in women’s basketball. Instead, she’s become the face of a major doping scandal.
Fans are now questioning if her entire career was built on a lie. Meanwhile, Caitlyn Clark is thriving in her rookie season, dominating headlines. Clark averaged 20 points per game, broke records, and became the face of the league, while Reese struggled to keep up.
The pressure to match Clark likely pushed Reese to make poor decisions—and now she’s paying the price. To make matters worse, rumors suggest that Weatherspoon, desperate to save her job, might have encouraged Reese to use PEDs.
Whether true or not, the Chicago Sky fired both Reese and Weatherspoon, cleaning house after the scandal. In contrast, Caitlyn Clark’s rise has been meteoric, attracting massive viewership and landing a $28 million Nike deal.
While Reese’s career is in shambles, Clark’s success is a testament to hard work, not controversy. Reese’s downfall has become one of the biggest stories in women’s basketball, overshadowing what could have been an exciting rivalry with Clark. Now, the WNBA is left to clean up the mess.
