Despite circulating rumors about her future with the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese’s contract with the team remains intact. Reese, selected as the seventh overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, is still a key part of the Sky’s roster. The team has been actively working to build a competitive lineup around her, making strategic moves such as acquiring Ariel Atkins from the Washington Mystics in a blockbuster trade. Atkins, a two-time All-Star, is expected to join Reese and other returning players, like Kamilla Cardoso, to strengthen the team’s chances for the upcoming season.
Recent reports suggesting Reese’s departure have been refuted, with Reese herself addressing the rumors. In a statement, she clarified that her decision to leave a previous team was not related to any conflict with her, but rather organizational issues and a desire to play under former Sky coach James Wade. This further emphasizes that her relationship with the Chicago Sky remains strong.
As the 2025 season approaches, the Sky are focused on utilizing Reese’s potential, along with their new acquisitions, to contend for a championship. With her talent and the team’s strategic moves, Reese’s future with the Sky remains bright.
