Chicago Sky Coach's Angel Reese Comments Surface Before Indiana Fever Game
Chicago Sky Coach's Angel Reese Comments Surface Before Indiana Fever Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky currently hold a 2-4 record after the first month of the 2025 WNBA season. New head coach Tyler Marsh and the Sky started off on a four-game losing streak but rebounded with back-to-back wins against the 1-6 Dallas Wings. Advertisement Second-year post players Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese, both of whom were first-round picks during the 2024 WNBA Draft, have put together solid campaigns once again. Cardoso is averaging 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest, while Reese is contributing 10.0 points and a league-leading 12.3 rebounds per game. Both landed on the 2024 WNBA All-Rookie team last season, and they have grown even more in their second year. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images Part of this growth can be attributed to assistant coach Courtney Paris, an 11-year WNBA veteran who was hired as an assistant coach under Tyler Marsh this season. She won the 2018 WNBA championship with the Seattle Storm and led the league in total rebounds on two occasions. Advertisement Paris spoke with Sky reporter Karli Bell ahead of the team's rematch against the Indiana Fever on Saturday. She spoke about 2024 WNBA All-Star forward Angel Reese and what has impressed her most. 'She has another level. When it's time to play, she competes at a level, and you can teach anything you want to teach in sports, but that competitive edge that you bring every day is either you have it or you don't,' Paris said. 'She just has it to the top level, even with all the pressure she has on her. That's what most impressed me about her and what continues to impress me about her.' Reese averaged 13.6 points and a WNBA-record 13.1 rebounds per game as a rookie, which landed her a spot on both the All-Star and All-Rookie teams. She is averaging a double-double once again this season and has four games of 12 or more rebounds. On Saturday, the Sky will host the Indiana Fever at the United Center in Chicago for their first game of the Commissioner's Cup. They will also be looking to avenge the 93 to 58 defeat that they suffered on opening day of the 2025 season. The game will tipoff at 8:00 p.m. EST.

Chicago Sky Coach Sends Message After Major Kamilla Cardoso News
Chicago Sky Coach Sends Message After Major Kamilla Cardoso News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky earned a 2-4 record through the first month of the 2025 WNBA season. They lost by a combined 73 points in their first three games but won two of their next three contests before the Commissioner's Cup. Advertisement Ariel Atkins and Courtney Vandersloot have led the team in scoring with 15.3 and 12.0 points per game, respectively, and second-year center Kamilla Cardoso is chipping in another 11.3 per contest. Just days before their rematch against the Indiana Fever, however, the Sky received a bit of disappointing news. It was reported that Cardoso would be playing for her home country Brazil in the AmeriCup this summer (via Roberta F. Rodrigues of The Next). Chicago Sky forward Kamilla Cardoso (10).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images This news meant that Cardoso would miss significant time for the Chicago Sky this season. While she is the team's third-leading scorer, she is also second in rebounds and leads the Sky in blocks. Advertisement After receiving this news, new head coach Tyler Marsh spoke to the media after Thursday's practice. He talked about Cardoso and how the team plans to move on without her for a portion of the season. "I think, from our standpoint and from Kamilla's standpoint, she's doing everything that she can do to be present and here for us," Marsh said. "When she goes off, then she'll handle her responsibilities, then she'll be back with us. We'll hold it down as best we can until she gets back." Cardoso was a member of the All-Rookie team last season after being the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Fellow first-round draftee Angel Reese was also a member, and she even made the 2024 WNBA All-Star team after leading the league in rebounds per game. Advertisement The Sky will be back in action on Saturday against the Fever after an entire week of having no games. They will look to avenge their 93 to 58 loss they suffered to Indiana on opening day. Tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. at the United Center in Chicago.

Soroka shines as Nationals blank Rangers in brisk 2-0 win
Michael Soroka struck out seven in six sparkling innings, and the Washington Nationals beat Patrick Corbin and the Texas Rangers 2-0 on Friday night. Soroka (3-3) allowed two hits and walked one. Brad Lord and Jose A. Ferrer each got three outs before Kyle Finnegan finished the two-hitter for his 18th save. WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 06: Michael Soroka #34 of the Washington Nationals pitches in the first inning against the Texas Rangers at Nationals Park on June 06, 2025 in Washington, DC. / Getty Images The speedy game was over in 1 hour, 50 minutes. Adolis García singled with two outs in the fifth for Texas' first hit. Josh Smith added a one-out single in the sixth for the Rangers in their fourth consecutive loss. Washington took a 1-0 lead in the second when Nathaniel Lowe and Alex Call opened with back-to-back singles. Lowe went to third on a flyout and scored on a groundout by Robert Hassell III. Call led off the seventh with his first homer of the season. Corbin (3-5) allowed five hits in eight innings in his longest start of the season. He struck out two and walked none against his former team. The 35-year-old Corbin, who signed with the Rangers in March, went 47-77 with a 5.11 ERA over the past six seasons with the Nationals. In 2019 he was 14-7 with a 3.25 ERA and threw three scoreless innings in relief to pick up the win in Game 7 of the World Series against the Astros. The Rangers put two runners on in the sixth, but Soroka escaped the jam when Marcus Semien flied out. Texas has lost nine of its past 10 road games overall. It has dropped six straight road series openers. Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (5-2, 2.34 ERA), who has allowed two runs or fewer in nine consecutive starts, opposes left-hander Mitchell Parker (4-5, 4.71 ERA) in the middle game of the series on Saturday.
