For Reese, the disappointment of landing in ninth place was compounded by the fact she missed Chicago's final six games because of a wrist injury. The Sky went 1-5 during that stretch, and their 89-58 blowout at the hands of Washington was particularly costly.

Given that Chicago Sky superstar forward Angel Reese is a generationally talented rebounder (which is proven by her leading the WNBA in rebounds per game during her rookie 2024 campaign), it may be hard for many to believe that she actually used to be a guard earlier in her career.

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are just days away from tipping off the 2025 WNBA season against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. Reese made a strong impression as a rookie last year, averaging 13.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game.
