Angel Reese's Old Nickname Surfaces After Chicago Sky Game

The Chicago Sky moved to 3-7 during the 2025 WNBA season after a 78 to 66 win against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday.

This win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Sky and gave them their first win in the Commissioner's Cup as well.

Second-year forward Angel Reese was in rare form, as she recorded her first career triple-double in the WNBA. She scored 11 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out 11 assists.

Her 11 assists were a career-high, and the 2024 WNBA All-Star also chipped in three steals and two blocks in Sunday's win against the Sun.

After her 11-assist triple-double, Reese began to gain more notoriety around the WNBA as a strong passer. This caused an old highlight video of her from high school to resurface, which featured her nickname "Doctor Dime."

One fan made the effort to bring this footage back into the public eye after Reese's great passing performance and ahead of the Sky's game against the 4-7 Washington Mystics.

"Its great that internet is forever," the fan wrote. "The same people that swore that Angel could never play point forward are right now moving the goalpost to make a triple double seem regular. Its hilarious scrolling the comments now."

Reese is averaging 3.5 assists per game this season, up from just 1.9 in 2024. She also had just one game of four or more assists as a rookie, and she already has three such performances in 2025 (via Pro Basketball Reference).

Chicago is back in action on Tuesday when they host the 4-7 Mystics at Wintrust Arena. Tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. ET, and fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings will be on the line.
