Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky have gotten off to a bit of a rocky start to the 2025 WNBA season, but there is still plenty of time to turn things around.

Along with her teammates, the second-year forward out of LSU, whom the Sky drafted with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, is still seemingly working to figure things out under new head coach Tyler Marsh.

While there haven't been many positives for Reese and the Sky who currently sit at 2-5 and will play their next two games against two of the hottest teams in the WNBA, Reese was on the receiving end of a personal award off of the court Monday evening.

At the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards were held.

For the second consecutive year, Reese won the Sportswoman of the Year award.

The award is given to the top athlete both on and off of the court.

Reese beat out notable names such as Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson, USC's JuJu Watkins, tennis phenom Coco Gauff, South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley and gymnastics legend Simone Biles.

In a statement released online featuring all of the winners, Reese's accomplishments on and off of the court were highlighted.

"On the sports side, Angel Reese dominated as Sportswoman of the Year, continuing her streak of wins both on and off the court," read the release.

On the court, Reese has established herself as a premier rebounder in the WNBA, becoming the fastest player in league history to record 500 points and 500 rebounds (38 games).

Off the court, Reese has released a signature sneaker with Reebok, and has also shined on her podcast "Unapologetically Angel."

With this win, Reese is now tied for second all-time with tennis star Naomi Osaka. They both trail Serena Williams by a wide margin, as she has brought home the award 16 times.

Reese and the Sky will be looking to get back in the win column on Tuesday against the New York Liberty.
