The WNBA has seen unprecedented growth in the past year. The elevation has been so rapid that it seems like the league has unfortunately failed to catch up to the hype. The debut game for Angel Reese with the Chicago Sky is a brilliant example of this colossal failure by the management. To the disappointment of millions of fans waiting to finally see Reese on the WNBA court, the league didn’t stream the game. Despite getting zero viewership, the Sky star got a shout-out from NBA legend Isiah Thomas.
In recent times, the female basketball realm has received a lot of attention. While most people equate the popularity with the rise of Caitlin Clark, and rightfully so, players like Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, Cameron Brink, etc. should also be given due credit. Interestingly, the debut game of Clark was streamed on the app and according to the League Pass, Reese’s game was also slated to be streamed. Even though the WNBA posted a clarification later, it didn’t work for the fans. However, amidst the disappointment, Reese and Cardoso received a major shout-out from Zeke.
