Footage from the press conference shows the trio listening in on a conversation apparently about someone’s “intimate relationship,” and their reactions are priceless. Eventually, the man’s voice was muted, but it still seemed to shock Weatherspoon, Reese and Mabray.
Even though the Sky lost to the Storm, Reese still set the record for most consecutive double-doubles by a player. She surpassed Candace Parker’s record with a 13th-place finish. Reese scored 17 points and 14 rebounds, becoming the only rookie to average a double-double this year.
