Williams, who turned into once selected by the Sky with the fourth opt within the 2018 WNBA draft, spent three seasons in Chicago sooner than she turned into once dealt to the Los Angeles Sparks in Might possibly well of ’21. About a days sooner than the deal, the Sky placed Williams on the paunchy-season suspended list, a decision that can no longer be reversed, on memoir of then-head coach and GM James Wade believed she had no longer made the Sky a “precedence.”
At the time, Williams planned to play for France in EuroBasket Women folk and within the Olympics, commitments Wade indicated that the Sky had no longer been made attentive to. She neglected the whole ’21 campaign ensuing from the suspension.
Williams turned into once at final traded to the Seattle Storm in February of ’22. She has looked in 46 profession games with the Storm between the ’22 and ’23 seasons.
Clearly, Williams restful harbors some resentment in the direction of the Sky, to Reese’s horror.
