Will Angel Reese Demand a Trade? Speculation Heats Up After Sky’s Blowout Loss

Angel Reese’s highly anticipated WNBA debut with the Chicago Sky took a rough turn after a 93–58 blowout loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, igniting instant speculation about her long-term commitment to the team. Sports columnist Jason Whitlock fanned the flames by jokingly placing an “over-under” on a trade request by July 1. Despite major offseason changes—including veteran signings and a new head coach—the Sky looked disjointed and lacked offensive leadership in their season opener. Fans are already wondering if Reese, known for her competitive fire, will grow frustrated with the team’s rocky start. Though just one game into her pro career, the noise surrounding Angel’s future in Chicago is already loud—and growing louder. Could a trade be her next power move?
