WNBA legend Candace Parker spoke out recently about Reese. She sent a very pointed message about the young Sky star and what she needs to do to take the next step.

Angel Reese is not losing confidence despite the Chicago Sky's struggles this 2025 WNBA season. She made that abundantly clear on Sunday, a day after their loss to the Caitlin Clark-less Indiana Fever.

The Fever didn’t need Caitlin Clark to blow past the Sky for a second time this season — and their postgame message made it clear they’re not backing down.

The Chicago Sky’s historic first game at the United Center ended with a 79-52 loss to the Indiana Fever — and an injury to Courtney Vandersloot.

Vandersloot's injury is a major loss for the rebuilding Sky, and in particular their young bigs, Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese. Hailey Van Lith, the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, took Vandersloot place in the starting lineup for the second half on Saturday, and will likely assume that position for the rest of the season.
