Chicago Sky star Angel Reese opened up about the challenges of her new role in the team after another defeat in the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association).
According to Basketball Network, after seeing the struggles of the Chicago Sky during the ongoing WNBA season, the team has decided to experiment a new position for their key player, Reese, placing her at the point forward.
However, despite changing American basketball player's position, the Sky on Tuesday, July 15, faced a 91-78 defeat to the Minnesota Lynx at Wintrust Arena.
The 23-year-old scored 22 points and hauled in 10 rebounds during the game and provided three assists during the game.
Talking about her new position, Reese said, “This is a new role for me, (but) that’s no excuse. I just have to watch the film and be better, I just gotta get the ball to where it needs to get to faster. I know we’re making the right read. We’ll continue to get better."
"Suck it up and keep hooping. I'm young, just continue to push through. There's no excuse for me, I average 35 or 36 minutes a game, and I guard the best player, usually. I gotta get up and not be scared,” she added.
Rose BC forward further asserted that she makes efforts every day and tries to dominate her matchup because she knows that her team needs her.
Chicago Sky has so far lost 14 out of 21 games of the 2025 season and will now next face the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday, July 16.
