The Chicago Sky are certainly not off to the start they had hoped for this season, despite hiring first-year head coach Tyler Marsh and making several key offseason additions.

After finishing 13-27 last year, the Sky entered Tuesday night’s matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks with a 3-10 record and riding a three-game losing streak.

On the bright side, second-year forward Angel Reese continues to shine. Drafted No. 7 overall in 2024 out of LSU, Reese has quickly become the focal point of the Sky’s roster and is already regarded as one of the WNBA’s brightest young stars.

At halftime against the Sparks — with the Sky trailing 48-42 — Reese had tallied four points, four rebounds and four assists. 

According to "Polymarket Hoops," Reese is now the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 150-plus rebounds and 50-plus assists in a single season. Her passing game has shown significant growth since her rookie year.

Earlier in the first quarter, Reese became the fastest player in WNBA history to record over 600 points and 600 rebounds in her young career.

Through her first 13 games of the season, Reese is averaging a double-double with 10.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.7 steals per game, while shooting 37.4% from the field and 76.3% from the free-throw line.
