Star Power Wasted? Angel Reese Impresses, But Chicago Sky Continue to Slide

Rookie sensation Angel Reese has provided the Chicago Sky with a glimmer of hope as they head into the 2025 WNBA season. Despite her remarkable individual feats, the franchise finds itself in a troubling tailspin. Following a 91-78 defeat against the Los Angeles Sparks, the Sky's losing streak has now reached a staggering eight games, leaving them winless at 0-3 this season.It has been 259 days since their last victory, which occurred on September 8, 2024, against the Dallas Wings. Reese, the seventh pick in the 2024 draft, has already achieved two double-doubles in her initial three games. Her notable performance against the Sparks—13 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists—demonstrates her potential.Despite the addition of veterans Courtney Vandersloot and Kia Nurse, the Sky struggle for synergy. With the Dallas Wings also mired in a lengthy losing streak, the pressure to secure a win mounts as the season progresses.
