The Chicago Sky broke ground on a much-needed new practice facility on Wednesday, and during the ceremony, general manager Jeff Pagliocca spoke briefly to reporters. He discussed a few topics, most notably the decision to fire Teresa Weatherspoon after just one season and the organization's relationship with star rookie Angel Reese .

Chicago Sky leadership wanted to focus on the long term Wednesday as the team broke ground on construction of a new training facility in Bedford Park. The facility will cost more than $30 million, the Sky’s latest investment in staying competitive in a new era of the WNBA.

Firing Teresa Weatherspoon after only 11 months doesn't inspire confidence in the organization, Sabreena Merchant writes.
