Chicago Sky, Angel Reese made WNBA history in a very bad way
There’s no way to sugarcoat it, the Chicago Sky do not look anywhere close to being the playoff contenders they talked about in the preseason.
Following the Sky’s disappointing 93-58 showing against the Indiana Fever on Saturday, Chicago dropped their home opener 99-74 to the New York Liberty in front of 9,025 fans at Wintrust Arena.
Angel Reese had a rough night despite recording 12 rebounds and three steals. She went 0-of-8 shooting, her only two points coming from the free throw line. She was a -25 on the court and committed five turnovers.
Courtney Vandersloot and Rachel Banham were the Sky’s bright points on offense. Vandersloot added 14 points, and Banham led Chicago with 15.
The Chicago Sky made bad history on Thursday night
Per Alexa Philippou of ESPN, the Sky made history on Thursday night. Their -60 point differential in losses to the Fever and Liberty is the first for any team in the first two games of a season.
“Tough start to 2025 in Chicago: The Sky’s -60 point differential this season is the worst through the first two games of a season in WNBA history,” Philippou posted on X. “They’ll head back on the road in search of their first win, starting with a meeting Sunday versus L.A.”

Angel Reese needs to be involved in the offense
Chicago’s shooting woes have been apparent to begin 2025. The Sky shot 36.2% from the field on Thursday night, a small improvement from 29.1% against the Fever.
The Sky will travel to play the LA Sparks on Sunday at 5 p.m. CST. The Sparks have lost two games in a row and have a 1-2 record. Per ESPN analytics, the Sky have a 36.3% chance of earning their first win on Sunday.
A good goal for the Sky for now would include getting Reese back in rhythm and bringing down the point differential in losses. While Chicago might not be a playoff contender in 2025, there’s no reason why this team cannot compete in the league.
