The Chicago Sky have struggled all season despite having some of the most promising young pieces in the league, like Angel Reese.

Reese came into her second season in the WNBA, looking to further establish herself as a star in the league, having already been mentioned as a top forward in the league.

In the Sky's most recent matchup, they suffered a 94-84 loss to the Connecticut Sun.

Chicago played a large portion of the game without head coach Tyler Marsh. The Sky coach was ejected from the game after a rant at the referees in the second quarter.

Marsh spoke about the ejection after the game, detailing his thoughts on the situation.

"It was hard being in the back and not being out there for the team," Marsh said. "I felt like I was letting them down, other part of me was like, I had to. It’s been egregious all year."

Tyler Marsh was being held back by Angel Reese after bursting out. Reese grabbed Marsh as soon as he erupted, and several other Sky players and coaches entered the mix after the Chicago coach signaled clear frustration toward the referees.

As soon as the situation was settled, Marsh walked back to the locker room with a team representative, ending his night in the second quarter.

Throughout her second season in the WNBA, Angel Reese has posted 14.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game for the Chicago Sky.

Reese has had a successful season early into her WNBA career, but injuries have derailed her second season in the WNBA.
