WBNA superstar Angel Reese was left covering her mouth in disbelief as a reporter was having a private conversation during a press conference. In what can only be described as an extremely awkward moment, Chicago Sky star Reese was initially confused by the strange crossover of voices. It all happened as one reporter was asking a serious basketball question, about Reese breaking the double-double streak record held by Candace Parker .
It was then that it became clear another microphone had been mistakenly left on. "[Are we] ever going to have an intimate relationship?" came a surprise intervention from a woman's voice. "Oh my, that's an uncomfortable topic," came the reply from a man's voice.
It was already clear that all normal press conference etiquette was being thrown out of the window. Reese just looked thoroughly confused at this unlikely turn of events. "Excuse me," she said, as staff then asked the first reporter to repeat their question.
"I never had any interest in being intimate with anyone," the man said. By this stage, it was very embarrassing for all concerned. Reese covered her mouth in shock, while coach Teresa Weatherspoon and teammate Marina Mabrey also seemed unsure of where all this was going.
“I told you they were being weird on that,” Mabrey said, laughing. “Oooo they finna get fired," Reese said. Thankfully all microphones were then muted, with staff no doubt shocked by the turn of events.
The press conference eventually resumed in normal fashion..
