Angel Reese Raises Serious Concerns About Sky's Future

In a bold move, Angel Reese has sent shockwaves through the Chicago Sky organization, explicitly calling out the need for change as they grapple with a dismal 9-30 record—among the worst in the WNBA. With just four games left in the regular season, Reese made it clear that she is unwilling to settle for mediocrity.

A Career at Stake?

Speaking candidly to the Chicago Tribune, the 23-year-old star expressed her desire to remain with the Sky throughout her career. However, she didn't mince words: if the team doesn't improve, she’s prepared to seek opportunities elsewhere. "I am very vocal about what we need and what I want," Reese stated, emphasizing her commitment to maximizing her potential but not at the cost of her future.

Immediate Changes Needed

Reese's call for change comes as she anticipates a pivotal offseason for the franchise. She firmly believes that the current roster needs significant upgrades, pointing out that only she and Kamilla Cardoso are certainties for the team moving forward into 2026. "We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a non-negotiable for me," she asserted.

Challenges in Attracting Talent

The Sky have struggled to draw top-notch talent in free agency, with their most notable offseason move being the return of Courtney Vandersloot, who is now recovering from a torn ACL. Reese didn’t shy away from addressing the potential risk of relying on Vandersloot's return at this stage in her career, stressing the need for younger players who are champions at heart.

Tough Questions on Team Dynamics

Additionally, Reese raised concerns about whether teammates Rachel Banham and Hailey Van Lith have what it takes to lead a playoff-bound team. This bold critique adds another layer to the already tense atmosphere.

Demand for Stricter Leadership

Rumors have surfaced that Reese wants head coach Tyler Marsh to push the team harder. Marsh has acknowledged the situation, stating that the staff is currently addressing these concerns internally, but it appears Reese's comments have not sat well with all her teammates. A meeting has been scheduled to tackle her remarks head-on.

The Heat Is On!

As the Sky brace for the final stretch of the season, all eyes will be on how they respond to Reese's ultimatum. Will they take action and revamp their strategy, or is a star player ready to leave the Windy City behind?
