Chicago Sky star Angel Reese looks to have responded to comments made by WNBA star Candace Parker.
Reese has been at the centre of basketball's gender pay dispute alongside WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, after Reese claimed her salary 'couldn't cover her bills'.
Rapper Ice Cube recently took a shot at the 23-year-old after snubbing her for a place in the BIG3 basketball league due to a lack of financial benefits.
He told TMZ: "[Reese] is a great player. The thing about Caitlin Clark was that [it would bring] millions of dollars for the league because of her stardom. That’s what our sponsors were telling us.

“They didn't tell us the same thing about Angel Reese. I don't know if we can make that same offer because it won’t have the same impact on the league. It was nothing personal.”
With Reese currently such a divisive figure in the sport, many others have also seemingly taken shots at the youngster, with WNBA icon Candace Parker the latest to take aim.
In a teaser clip for her upcoming podcast, Parker insisted she was 'not a hater' before appearing to list players she would take over Reese.
It didn't take long for Reese to respond, with the forward putting out a cryptic post on Wednesday morning.
“Clout is one helluva DRUG. like it really gets to a point.” Reese posted on her official X account.
The podcast episode will go live on Wednesday, which will reveal the full extent of Parker's comments about Reese.
Fans online have backed Reese following her alleged response to the 39-year-old.
One fan wrote: "Yeah Candace is getting weird. Stop showing her love it’s not reciprocated."
Another added: "Candace is ruining her legacy coming at you foul like this."
A third joked: "If there was a get your money up without mentioning Angel Reese challenge, they’d lose."
