Chicago Sky Disappoint Again As Angel Reese Shines

Because of rookie star Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky had a lot of attention and newfound hope going into the 2025 WNBA season. However, in spite of Reese’s exceptional individual accomplishments, the franchise is still in a downturn that is cause for grave concern.

With Sunday’s 91-78 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, Chicago’s winless skid now stands at an incredible eight games, stretching back to last September, and they are now 0-3 on the season.

The Sky have now gone 259 days since their last taste of success, which came on September 8, 2024, against the Dallas Wings.

Angel Reese and her fantastic campaign so far

With two double-doubles in her first three games of the season, Reese, the seventh overall choice in the 2024 draft, has lived up to her hype.

Another high point in what is turning out to be a stellar rookie campaign was her 13-point, 12-rebound, and 4-assist performance against the Sparks. Considering how young she is, the trip was her 28th double-double in her professional career.

Her output, though, hasn’t been sufficient to change the course of a team that is still adjusting to life after an offseason of transition. In an attempt to stabilize the squad, the Sky brought in veterans Courtney Vandersloot and Kia Nurse, but their chemistry hasn’t yet produced any on-court outcomes.

Chicago’s problems are part of a larger pattern among a few teams that are having trouble. The only team on a longer losing streak right now is the Dallas Wings, who have dropped 13 straight since August 30, 2024.

At 0–4, the Connecticut Sun have likewise started 2025 without a victory.

Though moral wins are starting to falter, there are encouraging indicators in Chicago, including Reese’s growth, newcomer sparks, and the possibility of increased cohesiveness as the season goes on. There is increasing pressure to find a victory.
