Making a press appearance for Chicago were guard Chennedy Carter and center Kamilla Cardoso, who made her WNBA debut in Saturday’s game. They were joined by their head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. For Reese, she didn’t just not show up for the presser, but she seemingly left the arena, period, before the media sessions started, per Yahoo Sports.
The Fever won their second game of the season in Saturday’s 71-70 win over Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. The victory also marked the team’s first win in five tries at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and it came with more defense than offense after Clark and company hit just 39.1 percent of their shots (27-69) and 24.0 percent of their 3-point tries (6-25). Clark was limited to 4-of-11 shooting and 11 points, and she was joined in double figures by all four other Indiana starters.
