Chicago Sky Make Request to WNBA as Angel Reese Suspension Nears

The Chicago Sky have gotten off to a rough start during the 2025 WNBA season, as they currently have a 7-17 record. They are currently riding a four-game losing streak as well, which has them 4.5 games out of the current playoff picture.

Angel Reese has put together another highly productive campaign during her second WNBA season, as she currently leads the Sky in total points, rebounds and assists. Her 12.5 rebounds per game are currently the best mark in the league.

Unfortunately, Reese is nearing a suspension from the WNBA because she has seven technical fouls during the 2025 season (via ESPN).

The WNBA has a rule that players are automatically suspended for one game without pay when they receive their eighth technical of the season (via CBS Sports). Given that Reese is only one technical foul away from this number, she is nearing a suspension from the WNBA.

Fortunately, Sky head coach Tyler Marsh told the media on Saturday that the franchise is working with the league and requesting to get a few of Reese's technical fouls rescinded.

"We've done our work on our side to try to get a couple of those rescinded in the moment and beyond, and that's up to the league's discretion," Marsh said. "I think, across the board, it's part of the entertainment of the game. It's hard to control the passion in the heat of the moment."

The Sky play their next game on Sunday against the Indiana Fever at 3:00 p.m. ET at the United Center in Chicago.

Reese has missed two of the Sky's last three games with various injuries to her leg and back, and she is day-to-day right now, according to Marsh. Star Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark currently has no timetable for her return as she deals with a groin injury.
