The Chicago Sky, her team, suffered a disappointing loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, with a final score of 86-68, as reported by the U.K.&#8217;s Daily Mail. Unfortunately, things didn&#8217;t improve for her on Monday. Despite having several days off and flying straight home, their journey took much longer than anticipated. Reese expressed her frustration in a post on X: \u201cWhy is it 3:47am and we still not home???\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Teammate Diamond DeShields provided some insight via an Instagram story: \u201cWe got off the plane \u2014 well, we didn\u2019t actually get off; we were stuck at the landing area because our bus was an hour away,\u201d she explained. \u201cThey told us we had to walk through the airport to collect our luggage from a conveyor belt and now we&#8217;re outside waiting for Ubers at this late hour.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Despite losing some sleep over travel issues, Reese is thriving with endorsement deals. She recently launched a &#8220;Reese&#8217;s Pieces&#8221; apparel line in collaboration with Hershey&#8217;s candy company and has two more collections planned for release soon. After one of her victories in June, she affectionately named her fans &#8220;Reese\u2019s Pieces.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In addition to these ventures, Reese continues to generate excitement around herself and the Chicago Sky. While playing at LSU she referred to herself as &#8220;Bayou Barbie,&#8221; and after joining the Sky she&#8217;s adopted &#8220;Chi Barbie.&#8221; On August 30th during their next game against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, they will host &#8220;Barbie Night&#8221; in partnership with Mattel.
