Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has uttered some of the most notable soundbites to come out of the WNBA this season, but she was a simply a bystander to one of the more awkward postgame moments this year.

Reese and her teammate Marina Mabrey, and Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon, were being interviewed on Sunday following an 84-71 loss to the Seattle Storm when one of the media members on the zoom call seemingly failed to mute their background noise.

Reese was being asked about her record-setting double-double streak when the interference, which commandeered the audio, began.

“That’s an uncomfortable topic,” an unidentified male voice proclaimed before pausing and establishing, “I have no interest in being intimate with anyone.”

To which the peanut gallery seemed shocked and slightly amused by once the trio realized what had transpired.

“Somebody getting fired,” Reese, who earned WNBA Rookie of the Month honors for June, quipped in response.

The star forward averaged 14.5 points and 13.2 rebounds per game last month and leads the league in rebounding with 11.8.

In June, Reese also broke the league’s all-time single season record for consecutive double-doubles, previously held by two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker, recording 10 straight.

She extended that streak to 11 double-doubles in a win against the Atlanta Dream on July 2.

On Sunday, Reese broke Parker’s record for the longest double-double streak in WNBA history, which spanned two seasons (2009 and 2010).
