CHICAGO — The Chicago Sky have lost eight games in a row, and has no ‘concrete timetable’ for a return of star Angel Reese.
Reese is set to miss her third straight game on Tuesday, Aug. 5, when the Sky take on the Washington Mystics at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. It will be the third straight game Reese has missed with a back issue, though she missed shootaround on Aug. 5 ahead of the game due to an illness, per Chicago coach Tyler Marsh.
The second-year player has played in 23 games for the Sky in 2025, but has now missed five of the last six, all of which resulted in losses for Chicago. The Sky entered play on Tuesday with a 7-21 record, with the trade deadline looming on Thursday, Aug. 7.
Here’s the latest on Reese’s injury and when Marsh said Sky fans can expect the star forward back in action:
Angel Reese injury update
Reese’s last action came in a 103-86 loss to the Mystics on Tuesday, July 29. She had 22 points and 13 rebounds in 32 minutes played.
Aug. 5 marked her third straight missed game and the fifth in six games. A return to the lineup does not seem imminent for Reese, according to her coach.
‘There isn’t a concrete timetable. To the extent that I know, it’s a back injury and she continues to be day to day,’ Marsh told media ahead of the Aug. 5 game against the Mystics. ‘I mentioned earlier that she wasn’t here for shootaround due to an illness. I think she’s progressing, but it’s still kind of wait and see.’
