The Sky finished 10th in the WNBA with a 13-27 record last season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2018. The disappointing results were despite getting significant contributions from Reese and fellow rookie Kamilla Cardoso. The two young stars are back, and the team made major roster changes to give them some help.

Angel Reese is back and hungry for wins after a record-setting rookie season that ended with a tough injury. From leading the league in rebounds to shaking up the WNBA alongside Caitlin Clark, Reese proved she’s more than just hype.

Once her photos from the Met Gala hit the internet, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie gave Reese a new nickname. The roots of Leslie's nickname for Reese come from the Chicago Sky stars original nickname from her college days.
