Chicago Sky Coach Making Potential Angel Reese Change After Loss to Fever
Chicago Sky Coach Making Potential Angel Reese Change After Loss to Fever originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky now hold a 2-5 record during the 2025 WNBA season after Saturday's loss to the 4-4 Indiana Fever. Chicago sits at 0-1 in the Commissioner's Cup and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Advertisement They tied for the lowest scoring output for a WNBA team this season with 52 points against the Fever, so they suffered a lopsided loss despite giving up a season-low 79 points (via Pro Basketball Reference). Kamilla Cardoso and Rebecca Allen led the way for the Sky, chipping in eight points a piece. Rookie guard Hailey Van Lith and Elizabeth Williams both added seven for Chicago in the loss. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images 2024 WNBA All-Star forward Angel Reese scored just four points on 2-for-7 shooting and added 12 rebounds and two assists. Chicago lost its starting point guard for the season on Saturday against Indiana, as Courtney Vandersloot tore her ACL and will require surgery. Advertisement The team will need to make adjustments if they want to fight back into the playoff picture, and head coach Tyler Marsh spoke about a potential change for Reese following the loss. "I think we want to get everyone going offensively," Marsh said. "But, yeah, we want Angel to be more involved. ... We gotta find areas to put people in the best positions to be successful." Reese's numbers are down from her All-Star and All-Rookie campaign in 2024. Last season, she averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds while attempting 12.3 field goals and 5.2 free throws per game. In 2025, Reese is averaging just 9.1 points and 12.3 rebounds per contest on just 9.7 field goal attempts and 4.3 free throws per game. Advertisement Considering the Sky sit two games outside of the playoff picture and their star forward has seen her averages drop, a change could be in order for Marsh and his team. Reese's rebound numbers still lead the WNBA, but offensive changes need to be made if the team wants to eclipse the 13 wins they mustered last season.
