The Chicago Sky’s tough start to the 2025 WNBA season continued on Sunday as they fell to the Los Angeles Sparks 91-78, marking their third consecutive loss.
After a season-opening defeat to the Indiana Fever and another setback in their home opener against the New York Liberty, Chicago remains winless with an 0-3 record.
Despite the defeat, the Sky found a silver lining in Angel Reese’s standout performance at Crypto.com Arena.
The 2024 WNBA All-Star had struggled in the first two games of the season, shooting just five-for-22 from the field.
However, on Sunday, Reese bounced back in a major way, finishing with a double-double: 13 points and 12 rebounds, alongside four assists and two steals. She also shot a more efficient 5-for-11 from the field.
Following the game, Chicago made an announcement on social media, naming Reese the Player of the Game. “Double double for 5️⃣‼️,” the team posted, accompanied by a graphic of Reese’s stats.
Despite their overall struggles, Reese’s effort was a bright spot for the Sky, who sit in last place in the Eastern Conference.
Post-match, Reese was visibly frustrated with the game. Her demeanor in the post-match press conference led many to believe she might be looking at her WNBA future elsewhere.
Chicago finished at the bottom of the East in 2024 and is hoping to turn things around under new head coach Tyler Marsh.
With the season still in its early stages, the Sky will be looking for their first win on Tuesday against the Phoenix Mercury.
While their 0-3 record remains concerning, Reese’s bounce-back performance offers a glimmer of hope for the team moving forward.
