Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky have had a tough start to the 2025 WNBA season, but they have remained resilient despite their hardships.
Going into Saturday’s matchup against the Indiana Fever, the Sky had a 2-4 record. Their inability to be potent on offense and stout on defense have prevented Chicago from starting the year with a winning record.
Reese reflected on the team’s struggles to start the season, which included a four-game losing streak. She is not losing confidence, especially not with her team.
“Obviously we could easily grow and just continue just to lose, lose, lose. But I think we just continue just to work and put our heads down and grind it. It’s not supposed to be easy for us. And I think everybody on this team, our journeys haven’t been easy,” Reese said.
“Everybody’s been underground at one point. Everybody’s been through something at one point. So I think we just come together with that chip on our shoulders. I think everybody just comes to work every day and that’s just something that we’re feeling.”
