The Chicago Sky are facing a major concern ahead of their game against the Seattle Storm on Thursday as star forward Angel Reese is listed as “questionable” due to a back injury. It’s still unclear when exactly the former LSU standout sustained the injury.
Reese played in Tuesday’s 91-68 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, logging just over 30 minutes. She tallied 11 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists on 4-for-8 shooting, but also committed nine turnovers.
Her uncertain status only adds to the Sky’s crisis, with key players Ariel Atkins (leg) and Michaela Onyenwere (knee) already ruled out. The timeline for their return remains unknown. If Reese is ultimately ruled out against the Storm, the Sky’s chances of pulling off a win could take a significant hit.
Angel Reese has been playing inspired basketball lately, consistently carrying the Sky on her shoulders. She’s currently riding an impressive 10-game double-double streak, a dominant stretch that has helped keep Chicago’s season from going from bad to worse.
The 6-foot-3 forward has also shown remarkable durability, appearing in 22 of the team’s 23 games. Her only absence came before the All-Star break due to a leg injury. Reese’s steady production has been a major factor in all seven of the Sky’s victories this season.
