Angel Reese and her Chicago Sky teammates might have unintentionally created a new meme during a demoralizing loss to the Washington Mystics.
Despite a season-ending injury, Angel was courtside Wednesday as the Sky hosted the Mystics in a game with significant playoff implications. Chicago needed to win to widen the gap between Washington and the Atlanta Dream as all three teams race toward the final spot for postseason play.
What could have been a tremendous victory turned into a nightmare as the Mystics, who have been surging, beat Chicago by over 30 points. One WNBA fan caught the moment when Angel, Diamond DeShields and Elizabeth Williams hung their heads on the bench, seemingly embarrassed or disgusted by what they were witnessing.
@nursepampam How we all felt during this game tonight. Mystics beat Chicago 89-58 to move within 1 game of the eighth-place Sky for final playoff spot. This has been a hard year for our team. #angelreese #chicagosky #diamonddeshields #elizabethwilliams
Another fan screenshotted some of the clip as the video began to permeate the internet, potentially unlocking a new meme.

The still shot seemingly encapsulated how many Sky fans likely felt watching the game, and they did not hesitate to comment on it.
