The Chicago Sky parted ways with Weatherspoon this Thursday following a 13-27 finish to the season that saw them miss the playoffs for the first time since 2018, which means Reese will have to get used to another coach in her sophomore year.

Taking to social media following the news, the former LSU star claimed to be heartbroken over the decision.
“I’m literally lost for words knowing what this woman meant to me in such a pivotal point in my life,” Reese wrote on X. “She was the only person that believed in me. The one that trusted me. Many don’t even know what it’s like to be a black women in sports when nobody believes in you.
“You had a tough job. All the crazy circumstances that we went through this year & when your back was against the wall, you always believed. I came to Chicago because of YOU.

“You were the best reason & season. You didn’t deserve this but I can’t thank you enough. I love you Tspoon.”
