Angel Reese doesn't hold back after Sky's sixth straight loss

Angel Reese made her highly anticipated return to action on Tuesday night as the Chicago Sky battled the Washington Mystics in a road game at CareFirst Arena. Reese made her return to the court after missing the last two games due to a back injury.

It did not matter much, though.

Despite Reese’s 22-point, 13-rebound double-double, the Sky still faltered at the hands of the Mystics, 103-86, marking Chicago’s sixth straight loss.

Angel Reese Reacts to Another Tough Loss

Reese spoke to reporters shortly after the final buzzer, and the two-time All-Star did not hold back with her postgame comments.

"Just trying to fight through contact as much as I can,” she said, via Sky beat reporter Karli Bell on X. “It was ugly, very ugly for me. I do as much as I can for my teammates because I know they need me out there."

There’s no denying that there was a lot of frustration for Reese after her team took another loss.

Sky waste another Reese gem

Reese, however, cannot be faulted for a lack of effort on her end. Apart from her 22-13 double-double, the Sky star also added three assists, three steals and two blocked shots in 32 minutes of action.

The 23-year-old picked up right where she left off before her injury, marking her 11th straight double-double. Reese is the only player in WNBA history to record multiple streaks of at least 10 consecutive double-doubles, and she is now nearing her own all-time record of 15 straight.

Nevertheless, this was all put to waste again after the Sky suffered their 19th loss of the season against just seven wins. They remain second-to-last in the league, above only the 4-21 Connecticut Sun.

Reese and Co. will be back in action on Friday in a home game against the Golden State Valkyries.
