Chicago Sky React to Angel Reese Update Outside WNBA

• Despite injuries, Angel Reese averaged 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, leading struggling Chicago Sky.

• Reese’s honor outside WNBA draws a reaction from the Sky.

• Drama emerged after Reese’s comments about possibly leaving Chicago Sky.

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese was named an All-Star for a second straight season after another memorable campaign. Despite dealing with multiple injuries throughout the year, including a back issue that forced her to miss the last stretch of the season, the 23-year-old was still able to produce averages of 14.7 points, a league-best 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 30 games played.

Reese shone in Chicago despite the Sky finishing with a 10-34 record and occupying the second-last seed. Despite another strong year from the former LSU Tigers star, the Sky missed the playoffs again for a second consecutive year.

There’s no denying at this point that Reese is one of the brightest young stars in the league. The Sky had very high expectations for her when they selected her as the seventh overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, and it would be safe to say that the 6-foot-3 forward has been able to live up to the hype.

Apart from being a force on the basketball court, Reese has also firmly established herself as a fashion icon. As much as the fans look forward to her performances during games, supporters have also grown fond of her pregame outfits and tunnel walks.

A testament to this is that Reese was recently named the WNBA MVP by LeagueFits, a social channel by SLAM Magazine dedicated to players’ gameday fashion statements. Reese is also part of the All-LeagueFits First Team alongside Sky teammate Hailey Van Lith, Kahleah Copper, Rickea Jackson and Isabelle Harrison.

The Sky caught wind of the news and they took to social media to proudly share the announcement.

“RUNWAY BARBIE 💐Angel Reese takes @leaguefits First Team + MVP 💐” the team posted on Instagram.
