Angel Reese Is Officially Done With The Chicago Sky

As the Chicago Sky wrap up another disappointing season, sophomore stalwart Angel Reese sent a stern warning to the front office for 2026.

Like her rookie year, Angel Reese was one of the few bright spots on a frustrating Chicago team. She’s averaging 14.6 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, yet the Sky (9-30) are in danger of finishing as the WNBA’s worst team of 2025.

Only the Dallas Wings (9-32) have a worse record than Chicago. But with five games remaining, there is still a strong possibility the Sky finishing with the league’s worst record and top draft lottery odds.

Speaking to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune, Angel Reese stressed that another lousy season will not be tolerated on her watch. The 23-year-old pulled no punches and challenged the front office to improve the roster.

“I’m not settling for the same s−−− we did this year. We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a non-negotiable for me.

I’m willing and wanting to play with the best. And however I can help to get the best here, that’s what I’m going to do this offseason. So it’s going to be very, very important this offseason to make sure we attract the best of the best because we can’t settle for what we have this year.”

A viral video in last week’s game between the Sky and Las Vegas Aces showed Angel Reese questioning teammate Sevgi Uzun for not passing the ball when they had a break on offense. Uzun failed to convert on the shot attempt.

Days before that, Angel Reese scratched Leïla Lacan’s eye while playing defense on the Connecticut Sun star. Reese faced backlash for that unnecessary tactic, but it’s just one of many things to sum up her frustrating 2025 season.

The Sky won’t make the playoffs, but they have the opportunity to play spoiler over the last five games of 2025.

Angel Reese and Chicago will visit the Indiana Fever on Friday night, with Caitlin Clark’s squad (21-20) barely clinging to the final playoff spot. There’s a golden opportunity for Reese and company to embrace the spoiler role.

Chicago also has back-to-back games against Las Vegas on Sunday and Tuesday. The Aces are in a three-way tie with the Atlanta Dream and Phoenix Mercury for the No. 2 seed, giving Chicago another chance to impact the playoff picture.
