According to social media posts from [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and other Chicago Sky players on Wednesday night, the team was harassed as it was getting off its team bus outside its hotel in Washington, D.C.
Per CBS Sports, the team was approached by a man who was holding a camera and looking for Chennedy Carter, who was the subject of some controversy a few days ago when she committed a hard foul off the ball on Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark.
Team security was ultimately able to de-escalate the situation, reportedly escorting him away without the need to involve the police.

I wasn’t present for the interaction from earlier, but what occurred isn’t acceptable. Didn’t realize that when we said “grow the game” that would be interpreted as harassing players at hotels. You are free to have your own opinion but consider if this happened to someone u know.
