The Chicago Sky have now won two straight games and sit at 2-4 in the early part of the 2025 WNBA season. They defeated the Dallas Wings in consecutive contests, with Sunday's victory coming on the road by a score of 94-83.

2024 WNBA All-Star Angel Reese is averaging 10.0 points and 12.3 rebounds to lead the Sky. She already has three double-doubles this season and became the fastest player in league history to reach 500 points and 500 rebounds.

On Sunday, she posted a series of pictures on Instagram featuring one of her pregame outfits from the recent two-game series against the Wings.

Reese limited the comments on her post, so only a select few could reply. WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, who Reese has grown close with in recent years, was one of the commenters.

She had a simple one-word message for Reese that showed support for the young star.

"Yep," Leslie commented.

Leslie played all 12 of her WNBA seasons with the Los Angeles Sparks, and she won two championships. She also earned three MVP awards, as well as 12 All-WNBA honorees and eight All-Star selections.

Reese was an All-Star during her first season, and she made the All-Rookie team as well after averaging a WNBA record 13.1 rebounds per game. She is leading the league in rebounds per game once again in 2025 with 12.3.

Looking for their third straight win, the Sky will play their next game on June 7 against the Indiana Fever to open the Commissioner's Cup.
