Chicago Sky Coach Reacts to Angel Reese News on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Chicago Sky dropped to 3-8 during the 2025 WNBA season after Tuesday’s loss to the Washington Mystics. The 79 to 72 loss gave the Mystics a 5-7 record and sole possession of fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Second-year forward Angel Reese followed up her first career triple-double on Sunday with a 17-point, 10-rebound, 5-assist performance against the Mystics.
A day after the game, Reese made headlines again when she partnered with Cash App to rebuild the outdoor basketball courts at Oakwood Beach in Chicago, Illinois. The two courts are now named “Angel’s Court” and are located near the water.
New Chicago Sky head coach Tyler Marsh has been a big supporter of Reese, who was a WNBA All-Star in 2024, since he took over at the beginning of the season.
On Thursday, he spoke to the media about Reese’s gesture and praised the second-year forward out of LSU.
“This whole court is really cool,” Marsh said. “It’s awesome, it was an awesome moment. It’s something she should be proud of so we’re really proud of it for her as well.”
Reese is averaging 11.0 points and 11.7 rebounds this season, which is still down from her 13.6-point and 13.1-rebound per game averages in 2024. Her 11.7 rebounds per contest still lead the WNBA in 2025.
Her assist numbers are way up compared to last year, as she is averaging 3.6 per contest this season as opposed to just 1.9 last season.
The Sky are back in action on Saturday against the 9-4 Phoenix Mercury. Tipoff is set for 3:00 p.m. ET at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
