"I'm heartbroken": Angel Reese pens emotional message for Teresa Weatherspoon

Following the news of Teresa Weatherspoon's removal, Angel Reese took to X, formerly Twitter, to share an emotional message for the former Sky coach, elaborating on the impact she had on her.

"I’m heartbroken. I’m literally lost for words knowing what this woman meant to me in such a pivotal point in my life. She was the only person that believed in me. The one that trusted me. Many don’t even know what it’s like to be a black women in sports when nobody believes in you," Reese wrote.

"You had a tough job. All the crazy circumstances that we went through this year & when your back was against the wall, you always believed. I came to Chicago because of YOU. You were an unsung hero in my life. We built a relationship in a short amount of time that will last forever."

Reese added:

"I’ll never question God why he brings people in my life and takes them away from me in the capacity that I need them but i’ve always believed everyone is in your life for a reason and a season. You were the best reason & season. You didn’t deserve this but I can’t thank you enough. I love you Tspoon."

Under the tutelage of Terese Weatherspoon, Angel Reese had a historic rookie campaign, setting various WNBA records with her rebounding prowess. However, the Chicago Sky failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2018, which may have been a deciding factor for Weatherspoon's removal.
