The Chicago Sky dropped to 5-12 during the 2025 WNBA season after Sunday evening's loss to the 17-2 Minnesota Lynx. The 80 to 75 defeat marked the Sky's fifth loss in the last seven games.

Second-year forward Angel Reese led the way for Chicago with 16 points, 17 rebounds and six assists. She shot 7-for-16 from the floor and recorded a block as well.

On Sunday, Reese was named to the 2025 WNBA All-Star team, her second such honor in as many seasons. She was the lone Sky player to earn a spot on the team for the second consecutive year.

Following the team's 12th loss of the 2025 WNBA season, the Sky made a decision regarding Reese.

They announced that the second-year forward was the team's Player of the Month. This is the first time she has earned this honor from the Sky this season.

"The only player in the league averaging a double double. it’s only right that A5 is our Player of the Month ," the Sky wrote. "@MagellanCorp | Player of the Month."
