Marina Mabrey has addressed rumors surrounding her departure from the Chicago Sky, particularly speculation that her move was influenced by her relationship with Angel Reese. In a candid interaction with Reese, Mabrey dismissed these claims, emphasizing there was no animosity between them and expressing her affection for Reese. This clears up any misconceptions about internal conflicts being a factor in her trade to the Connecticut Sun.
Mabrey’s decision to leave the Sky seems rooted in her desire to be part of a championship-contending team, as the Sky missed the WNBA postseason. Additionally, her transition from playing under former coach James Wade to navigating different systems likely influenced her move.
The friendly rapport between Mabrey and Reese was highlighted in their video interaction, suggesting a positive relationship despite the trade. Their potential matchups in the upcoming Unrivaled basketball league, with Reese on Team Rose and Mabrey on Team Phantom, add an intriguing dynamic to their competitive future.
