Angel Reese’s availability for the Chicago Sky’s upcoming game against the Seattle Storm remains uncertain due to a back injury that has kept her out of action for the past seven contests. The game is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19, at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois, where Reese could potentially return and impact the struggling team.
Reese took part in the team’s practice session on Monday, prompting head coach Tyler Marsh to offer an update on her status. Marsh emphasized that while Reese looked strong and seamlessly integrated during practice, the final call on her participation will depend on how she feels after the pregame shootaround later Tuesday.
“She looked great,” Marsh said. “She fit right in. It’s like she hadn’t missed any time off. The Chemistry is still there with her teammates, and she picked up on stuff we were doing, picked up on the game plan going into tomorrow.
“So, we’ll continue to see how she feels tomorrow at shootaround and gauge it day by day still. It’s possible (she plays against Storm).”
The Chicago Sky are currently enduring a difficult season, sitting in 12th place in the league with an 8-25 record. The team has dropped nine of its last ten games, including a four-game losing streak most recently, which all but eliminates their chances of making the playoffs. A return from Reese could serve as a boost for the franchise as it aims to end the regular season on a more positive note.
Reese, who gained recognition originally at LSU, is a key figure for the Sky and her presence on the court could significantly enhance their efforts against the Seattle Storm. The team hopes that her comeback will help them turn around their current downward slump and provide a spark for the remaining games of the season.
