WNBA Star Kahleah Copper Abruptly Exits Press Conference Amidst Heated Spat with Reporter

A post-game press conference took an unexpected twist after Chicago Sky’s Kahleah Copper engaged in a fiery exchange with a journalist, following the team’s recent defeat at the hands of the Minnesota Lynx.

The reporter’s seemingly innocuous question about the performance of the bench players ignited a spark in Copper, a renowned three-time All-Star. Her frustration was palpable as she retorted, “What they gotta do? What’d they do last game? That’s a real question? You for real?” 

The tension in the room was hard to ignore as reported by TMZ.

As the journalist sought clarity, Copper’s disbelief grew. She pushed for specifics regarding both Tuesday’s and the previous game’s performances. With a tone that could cut through ice, she delivered the final blow, “So what they gotta do? Score, right? Alright, bet,” before leaving the press conference in a dramatic exit.

Turning to the numbers, the game’s stats painted a stark picture of the Sky’s bench challenges. The trio of reserves could only muster a collective 12 points, shooting a lackluster 4-for-13. A contrast to the prior game where bench players Dana Evans and Morgan Bertsch led a commendable charge, racking up an impressive 33 points and securing a victory against the Dallas Wings.

Amidst the team’s hurdles, Copper’s personal accomplishments remained a silver lining. The star player lit up the court with a solid 23-point performance on Tuesday. Her consistent excellence earned her the title of 2021 WNBA Finals MVP. The season’s average of 19.4 points per game showcased her skills, a number that soared to 21.7 points per game since the All-Star break.

On a broader note, the Chicago Sky presently holds the eighth spot in the WNBA standings, tallying a record of 12-16. Copper’s visible frustration underscores the spotlight on bench players, raising curiosity about their role in the upcoming face-off against the spirited New York Liberty.
