Angel Reese Plans to Stay with Chicago Sky for 2026 Season, No Trade Requests
WNBA star Angel Reese confirms her commitment to the Chicago Sky despite earlier uncertainties about her future.
Angel Reese participated in a training camp with USA Basketball this past weekend and made clear her intention to remain with the Chicago Sky for the upcoming season. Despite a challenging end to her previous season, Reese confirmed, “I’m under contract, so yes, I plan on returning to the Sky,” during her media appearance.
Reese is committed through 2027, but her future stirred discussions after she missed the conclusion of the 2025 season due to injuries and suspensions. After airing her grievances regarding the team’s management and roster decisions, she stated, “I’m not settling for the same situation we encountered this year” and emphasized the need for improvements.
Furthermore, she raised concerns about fellow player Courtney Vandersloot’s future contributions, saying, “We can’t rely on Courtney to come back at her age.” This remark has been met with mixed reactions, prompting Reese to later apologize for any misunderstandings.
The Sky are poised for a transformation this offseason as they hold the 5th pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft, aiming to bolster their roster and bounce back from a disappointing season.
