Angel Reese's Strong Postgame Comments on Kamilla Cardoso After 6th Straight Loss
Angel Reese's Strong Postgame Comments on Kamilla Cardoso After 6th Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky dropped to 7-19 during the 2025 WNBA season after Tuesday evening's loss to the Washington Mystics. The 103 to 86 loss marked the Sky's sixth-straight defeat, which leaves them in 12th place in the league standings and now 6.0 games out of the playoffs. Washington's All-Star rookie duo of guard Sonia Citron and forward Kiki Iriafen led the way for the Mystics in the win. Citron recorded a career-high 28 points, and Iriafen also recorded a career-high with 22 points in addition to 10 rebounds and four assists. Chicago's frontcourt tandem of second-year players, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, both performed well despite the loss on Tuesday. Reese recorded her 11th-straight double-double, with 22 points and 13 rebounds. She also added three assists, three steals and two blocks. Cardoso chipped in 21 points and nine rebounds for the Sky in the loss. During the postgame press conference, Reese made a strong comment about Cardoso and her performance despite Chicago losing its sixth-straight contest. "I tell her, 'You're dominant. You're a great player. You just have to believe in yourself.' I continue to put that confidence in her," Reese said. Cardoso is averaging a career-best 12.0 points during her second season, up from 9.8 as a rookie. She is also contributing 7.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks per game in 2025 as well. Reese is scoring 13.7 points per game for the Sky, in addition to a league-best 12.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists. She had now recorded 17 double-doubles during the 2025 season. Chicago is back in action on Friday against the 12-13 Golden State Valkyries. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.

Chicago Sky Coach Has Decision to Make After Angel Reese News
Chicago Sky Coach Has Decision to Make After Angel Reese News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky dropped to 12th place in the standings during the 2025 WNBA season after Sunday's 93 to 78 loss against the Indiana Fever. They now sit at 7-18, which is 5.0 games back from the final playoff spot. Chicago has been without veteran guard Ariel Atkins for the last four games, and two-time All-Star forward Angel Reese has missed three of the last four contests as well. These two are the Sky's leading scorers at 13.9 and 13.8 points per game, respectively. Fortunately for the Sky, head coach Tyler Marsh announced that Reese would return to the court for Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Mystics. Reese has played in 22 of the team's 25 games this season, and she has started in each of her appearances. In each of the three games that she has missed, 11-year veteran center Elizabeth Williams has taken her place in the starting lineup. With Reese now returning for the matchup against the Mystics, coach Marsh has a decision to make about who the second-year star will replace in the starting lineup. Forward Kamilla Cardoso has started in each of her appearances this season, so replacing her is unlikely. Williams has performed well in Reese's absence, averaging 9.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 assists per game. However, she is likely to be replaced by Reese because she has never started ahead of her or Cardoso, just alongside them when one is unavailable. Chicago has employed nine different starting lineups this season because of various injuries and players missing time due to overseas commitments. With Atkins still out, either Kia Nurse or Rebecca Allen will remain in the starting lineup. Michaela Onyenwere has started in six of her last seven appearances as well, so with her potentially back on Tuesday, she could replace Nurse or Allen. Tuesday's game tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET at CareFirst Arena in Washington D.C. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 29, 2025, where it first appeared.

Chicago Sky Facing Angel Reese Decision After Third Straight Missed Game
Chicago Sky Facing Angel Reese Decision After Third Straight Missed Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky have a 7-21 record during the 2025 WNBA season, which places them 12th in the league standings. They are currently 7.0 games back from the final playoff spot with just 16 contests left in the year. Two-time All-Star forward Angel Reese has enjoyed another stellar campaign, averaging a career-best 14.2 points and 3.7 assists, as well as a league-leading 12.6 rebounds per game. Unfortunately, she has played in just 23 games, missing five of the Sky's last seven. In her absence, the Sky have gone 0-5, averaging just 63.4 points per game and losing by an average margin of 22.6 points. This poor stretch has taken Chicago almost completely out of the playoff picture. Chicago Sky Announce Angel Reese Will Miss Third Straight Game On Tuesday evening, the Sky will host the 13-15 Washington Mystics at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. The team has already ruled Reese out for the game with a back injury once again, meaning she will now miss her third straight contest. Chicago is now facing a decision about potentially shutting down Reese for an extended stretch, and perhaps the rest of the 2025 season. The benefit of this would be making sure that Reese's back heals properly and focusing on her long-term health instead of rushing her back for an unsalvageable season. Given the low odds of making the playoffs and the current eight-game losing streak, it may be better for the Sky to take this route. This would also allow them to take a better look at players like Kamilla Cardoso and Maddy Westbeld, both of whom have been outshone by Reese thus far in their WNBA careers. Chicago Sky Fans Call for Angel Reese to be Shut Down for Extended Period Sky fans certainly echoed this sentiment upon the announcement that Reese would miss her third straight game, as they believe it may be the best thing for her and the franchise moving forward. "Wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't play the rest of the year at this point," one fan said. "Im really glad shes taking her time because back injuries really shortened some of the greats' careers," another replied. "But damn I miss seeing her play." "Keep resting and healing, Angel," a fan chimed in. "I'm happy she sitting because remember EDD never came back after having back trouble," another pointed out. "I wouldn't be surprised if she's done for the season. 💔," another fan responded. "Even though I miss Angel hoops, I want her to rest as long as possible," one fan commented.
