Angel Reese tipped her hand on what he goal was before the 2025 season. Reese planned to be a leader on rebounds because “rebounds win championships.” She also wants to make the WNBA All-Defensive Team.
The Chicago Sky hope Reese expands her skillset in head coach Tyler Marsh’s system. Marsh and point guard Courtney Vandersloot voiced their belief in the preseason that Reese can be more than a rebounder in the WNBA.
However, rebounding was what Reese excelled at in the first half of the Sky’s season opener against the Indiana Fever. Reese finished the first half with nine rebounds and seven points.

The Chicago Sky were trailing despite the rebounding
Reese recorded 446 rebounds as a rookie, which broke a league record for the most rebounds in a single season. She averaged 13.1 rebounds per game. Reese was well on her way to smashing her average from 2024.
Despite Reese believing that her rebounding can win championships, the Sky were trailing the Fever 45-32 at halftime. The Sky struggled shooting, averaging just 28.9% shooting and making just 25% of their three-point shots.
Reese went 3-of-8 shooting in the first half, including 1-of-2 from behind the three-point arc. She was a -10 on the court with one assist and two turnovers.
