For Reese, the disappointment of landing in ninth place was compounded by the fact she missed Chicago's final six games because of a wrist injury. The Sky went 1-5 during that stretch, and their 89-58 blowout at the hands of Washington was particularly costly.

Given that Chicago Sky superstar forward Angel Reese is a generationally talented rebounder (which is proven by her leading the WNBA in rebounds per game during her rookie 2024 campaign), it may be hard for many to believe that she actually used to be a guard earlier in her career.

After starting the 2025 WNBA preseason a perfect 2-0, Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky couldn't get it done in the preseason finale, finishing 2-1. On Saturday night, the Sky fell to the Minnesota Lynx 92-87, just a few days after defeating the same team.
