The Chicago Sky fell to 9-13 on the 2024 WNBA regular season after losing a disappointing defeat to the New York Liberty on Thursday.

Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon argues with an official in the first quarter against the New York Liberty at Barclays Center.

If there was one silver lining in the loss, it was that rookie Angel Reese recorded yet another double-double (albeit barely), keeping her historic streak alive.

But fans are blasting Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon for seemingly caring more about Reese getting her record than giving fellow rookie Kamilla Cardoso minutes.
One Sky fan went viral for writing on X, “Benching Kamilla Cardoso and putting her back in immediately after the double double happened is crazy” with three crying emojis.

Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon argues with an official in the first quarter against the New York Liberty at Barclays Center.

“Lemme get this straight, Kamilla Cardoso could be at the ESPYs tonight potentially collecting a major award with her former college teammates, but instead she spent half the night riding the bench because the Sky coach wants to pad Angel’s stats?” said another.

A third fan wrote, “Here we go again….. Teresa Weatherspoon benching Kamilla Cardoso ..to pad Angel Reese stats. Then took Reese out when she got a double double.”

This is not a good look for Weatherspoon or the Sky.

They’ll have a chance to right this wrong against the Liberty on Saturday
