Angel Reese's ex-teammate Marina Mabrey issues 3-word statement on her next WNBA destination

The WNBA off-season has thrown up some big moves so far, and Marina Mabrey's recent trade request might just be the latest in a flurry of activity. The former Chicago Sky guard was traded to the Connecticut Sun during the 2024 season but has requested to move after having only played 23 games.

It has been two weeks since Mabrey made the request, but the Sun have not moved the guard. Furthermore, there are no major rumblings on her future. Mabrey herself said on social media that she has no idea where her future lies in the WNBA.

"Not entirely sure," Mabrey said when questioned by a fan on social media.

Mabrey said she wanted to move from the Chicago Sky to the Connecticut Sun to play for a winning team, but she is now set to be on the move again.

While a move for Mabrey may not be league-altering, considering that she's never been in an All-Star or All-Defensive team so far in her career, the guard has remained consistent. She is a coveted piece who could move the needle for any contender looking for steady production in the guard spots.

The roster overhaul at Connecticut, which saw Alyssa Thomas, DeWanna Bonner and Brionna Jones move elsewhere, could have influenced Mabrey's decision.

Marina Mabrey's move from the Chicago Sky was rumored to have been sparked by Angel Reese's presence

The last time the veteran guard requested a trade, speculation about a strained relationship with younger teammate Angel Reese surfaced. Mabrey and Reese even had to address the rumor during their Unrivaled stint.

"I love Angel, the real ones know," Mabrey said in a video with Angel Reese.

While a return to the Sky seems unlikely for Mabrey, it cannot entirely be ruled out. She had her most productive scoring season in Sky colors.
