Carter had her teammate's back.
Amid criticism over Angel Reese’s performance in the Chicago Sky’s loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday, Sky teammate Chennedy Carter voiced her fierce support for the young rookie.
Reese finished with 11 points and 22 rebounds in Sunday’s 77-75 loss, becoming the first player in WNBA history to record 20 rebounds in three straight games. However, her latest double-double—which was her 22nd of the season—didn’t hide the fact that Reese shot just 4-of-16 from the field, continuing her recent troubling trend of poor shooting form.“Angel’s down there battling, she’s trying to get some foul calls, playing strong, playing hard, those are the things you need,” Carter said.
The Sky currently sit in eighth place and will want to start building momentum for the playoffs soon, starting with Wednesday’s game against the Atlanta Dream.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
