Troubling Angel Reese Statistic Emerges Following Sky-Fever

When the schedule was released for the 2025 WNBA season, there were five key dates many fans circled on their calendars. At that point, the matchups between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky were deemed appointment television.

The major attraction for these games was meant to be Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese. Unfortunately, to the dismay of many, Clark and Reese have only faced each other one time this season despite their teams playing each other three times.

The most recent matchup came on Sunday, and turned into a Fever blowout 93-78 over the Sky. Both Clark (groin) and Reese (back) remained sidelined, in street clothes, for this one.

While the Fever were able to pull out a win without Clark, the Sky haven't been as fortunate without Reese this season as well as throughout her career.

Following the Sky's loss on Sunday, a troubling statistic emerged involving Reese. The Sky are now 0-3 without Reese this season and 1-8 without her so far in her WNBA career.

They’re 1-8 in her career when she’s out, and 0-3 this season alone.

While Reese's historic double-double streak remains intact at 10 games, the Sky are working on an unfortunate streak of their own. The Sky have now lost five consecutive games, falling to 7-18 on the season. They hold the third worst record in the league ahead of only the Dallas Wings (7-19) and the Connecticut Sun (4-20).

Reese's next opportunity to take the court will come against the Washington Mystics, on the road, on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

And the two remaining matchups between the Fever and Sky are scheduled for Saturday, August 9 and Friday, Sept. 5. WNBA fans everywhere will likely cross their fingers and hope Clark and Reese will find themselves healthy and in their respective lineups for those two important dates.
