ESPN did Angel Reese dirty following a poor shooting night against the New York Liberty on Thursday night.

Reese and the Chicago Sky suffered a second-straight loss to begin the season, having previously tasted defeat in their opener against Caitling Clark and the Indiana Fever.

She failed to score a single field goal during Thursday’s L, something ESPN noted in an update via their app as they called the former LSU star out for her “Historically bad shooting.”

The Worldwide Leader in Sports also noted that Reese tied a WNBA record for the most misses from within four feet of the rim in the last 10 years.

“Angel Reese goes 0-for-7 from within four feet of basket to tie most misses from that distance in WNBA over past 10 seasons,” the notification read.

Reese would miss her next attempt as she ended the game at 0-for-8. While she grabbed 12 rebounds, several of them resulted from her own misses, and she also committed five turnovers.

Angel Reese And The Sky Endured A Frustrating Night

The Sky held a brief 12-9 lead over NY on the night, but the Liberty put together an 8-0 run to take a 20-12 lead and set themselves up with a 53-32 cushion going into halftime, eventually winning 99-74..

Chicago couldn’t find any consistency on offense, shooting a lackluster 31.2 percent in the first half, with Reese failing to score until there were just six minutes left in the game.

Her tally of two points marked a career low.

For Reese, it was a night of frequent blocks, strips near the basket, and more or less missing on her own. But the Sky will hope to pick things up when they face the Los Angeles Sparks this Sunday.
