Chicago Sky Don’t Know When Angel Reese Will Play Again

Reese has appeared in 23 games for the Sky this season. She’s averaging 14.2 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 44.4% from the field, 20.0% from beyond the arc and 79.0% from the free-throw line. The LSU product has 17 double-doubles and one triple-double.

The Sky are only 8-21 on the season. They are in second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference standings. All signs point toward Chicago missing the playoffs for the second year in a row.

Reese was the seventh overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She averaged 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists as a rookie. The Maryland native has already established herself as one of the best rebounders in WNBA history.

In 57 career games with the Sky, Reese is averaging 13.8 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists. Chicago is 19-38 when Reese plays.

Reese was the first basketball player Reebok signed after the company relaunched its basketball brand. Reebok CEO Todd Krinsky told Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic that Reese was the perfect player for them.

“Angel is a provocative disruptor,” Krinsky said. “But she doesn’t do it just for clicks or whatever. She does it because she really has this very, kind of unique, rebellious attitude. And those are the type of athletes that — athletes have something to say. Athletes are more than just athletes, away from the court. That’s the formula of what’s really worked for us in the past, so we can build these icons, and she’s definitely one of them. She fits the Shaq/AI mentality.”

Angel Reese signed a four-year, $324,383 contract with the Chicago Sky last year after getting drafted in April. She agreed to a multi-year endorsement contract extension with Reebok in October 2024.
