Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and other members of Team Collier were seen practicing at Gainbridge Fieldhouse ahead of the WNBA All-Star Game, but their shooting performance drew significant backlash from fans. A video posted on X on Friday showed the players repeatedly missing shots, which triggered a wave of negative reactions online. Angel Reese started the shooting session but missed two attempts, followed by Kelsey Plum and Paige Bueckers, who also failed to score.

Fans quickly took to the comments section to mock the players’ shooting woes. Many suggested the group might have been affected by partying the night before the practice session in Indianapolis, where the All-Star events were taking place.

“Hung over from all those parties last night?” one fan commented.

“after partying all night they are probably seeing about 4 different rims,” another fan said.

“WTF…are they hungover?” another fan asked.

Beyond accusations of being distracted, some fans went further to ridicule the team’s shooting ability, stating their mistakes looked worse than what a high school team would make during a game.

“My high school team wouldn’t have missed 9 in a row,” a fan said.

“They know it’s supposed to go in the basket, right?” another fan said.

Team Collier still has time to fine-tune their shooting before facing Team Clark in the All-Star Game on Saturday, but these early struggles highlight an area they need to improve to be competitive on game day.

Fever Veteran Sydney Colson Commends Angel Reese Amid All-Star Weekend

During the All-Star weekend festivities in Indianapolis, Fever veteran Sydney Colson praised Angel Reese for her progress and resilience. At a meet-up on the orange carpet, Colson recognized Reese’s hard work despite the criticism surrounding her presence in the league. Colson, a two-time WNBA champion, applauded Reese’s growth from her rookie year to her sophomore season.

“We’re very happy for you,” Colson said. “To see the road from your year one to your year two, you can tell you put in work. And with all of the negativity that you receive, I hope you know that a lot of us, we admire you – how you carry yourself and how you show up all the time. So keep being that.”

Reese has rapidly become one of the WNBA’s standout players. Now in her second year, the forward from the Chicago Sky recently became the cover athlete of the WNBA edition of NBA 2K26 and set a record as the fastest player to achieve 40 double-doubles in the league.

Future Outlook for Team Collier and Angel Reese at the All-Star Game

While Team Collier’s All-Star practice at Gainbridge Fieldhouse was marred by shooting difficulties, the team’s potential remains high. Angel Reese’s rising status, underscored by veteran support from players like Sydney Colson, suggests that despite the criticism, Reese and her teammates will aim to sharpen their performance before the game. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Team Collier can overcome their recent struggles and deliver a strong showing against Team Clark in the much-anticipated matchup on Saturday.
