Chicago Sky Make Angel Reese Announcement After Eighth Loss

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has been playing her best basketball of the 2025 WNBA season in recent games. Over her last four contests, the 6-foot-3 forward is averaging 14.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists. This includes her first career WNBA triple-double in a win over the Connecticut Sun.

Unfortunately for Reese and her team, the Sky currently sit near the bottom of the standings with a 3-8 record. Missing the playoffs last season, and owning the worst record in the Eastern Conference, Chicago was hoping for more success this year after some offseason changes.

While that has not taken place, there is reason for optimism, particularly with the recent play of Reese.

Heading into a game with the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday, the Sky made an announcement on their star sophomore. Per the team, Reese has officially been named Chicago’s Player of the Week for the second consecutive week. This is a team-given honor, and one that was accompanied with a message on X.

"back-to-back," the Sky wrote. "Angel Reese is our Magellan Player of the Week for the second week in a row ‍"

Reese has dominated these team-specific awards this season, winning several Player of the Game honors, and now taking home Player of the Week for the second straight week.

On Friday, the WNBA announced the first voting returns for the 2025 WNBA All-Star game, and Reese was 13th in the league with over 173,000 votes. While this may be a bit lower than fans were expecting, it still puts her in position to make the All-Star team for a second straight year.

Reese’s recent play has only strengthened her All-Star case, and she will look to keep that going on Saturday against Phoenix
