Angel Reese Sends Clear Message After Chicago Sky's Blowout Loss to Indiana Fever

Angel Reese is not losing confidence despite the Chicago Sky's struggles this 2025 WNBA season. She made that abundantly clear on Sunday, a day after their loss to the Caitlin Clark-less Indiana Fever.

The 23-year-old Reese struggled mightily on the offensive end against the Fever, scoring just four points on 2-of-7 shooting as Chicago was blown out, 79-52.

Reese did grab 12 rebounds and dish out two assists, but her efforts were simply not enough. The Sky played poorly as a team, with no Chicago player scoring in double digits. Their best scorers were Rebecca Allen and Kamilla Cardoso, who had eight points each.

The Sky dropped to a 2-5 record as a result, and there's no end in sight for their on-court troubles — especially after the season-ending injury to starting point guard Courtney Vandersloot.

Despite her offensive woes and the issues the Sky are facing, though, Reese is not letting the problems bother her and affect her mentally. On Instagram, she posted a series of photos of her pregame outfit for the Fever showdown with a strong and clear message.

"I AM EXACTLY WHO I THINK I AM," Reese wrote.

In the seven games the Sky have played so far, Angel Reese averaged 9.1 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists. While her assist numbers are up by a bit, her scoring and rebounding are down, all while shooting an abysmal 30.9% from the field.

Last season, Reese put up 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds while shooting 39.1% overall.

Sure enough, the Sky will need Reese to recapture her old form and play more efficiently if they want to turn things around quickly. The good news is Reese has the right mindset despite their poor start to the campaign.
