Chicago, IL – The situation surrounding Chicago Sky star Angel Reese continues to escalate as a vague injury update from head coach Tyler Marsh fuels growing trade rumors, compounded by reports of locker room friction.
Reese’s 2025 campaign has been riddled with setbacks, shattering initial playoff aspirations. Now, coupled with a recurring back injury and a two-game benching following a 80-66 loss against the Aces, speculation is mounting about her future with the Sky.
During a press briefing following the game, Coach Marsh offered a predictably cautious response regarding Reese’s condition. “Yeah, she reported to us, during pregame, and so in conjunction with Angel and the medical staff, we wanted to be as cautious as possible. So that was the decision,” he stated.
When pressed for specifics on steps being taken to address the recurring back issues, Marsh reiterated a standard response. “Yeah, I think we’ve got to gauge it day by day. Obviously, with two games remaining, I know Angel wants to be out there, and so we’ll continue to work with her and our medical team and see what the best method of approach is moving forward.”
This lack of concrete information has only intensified the chatter surrounding a potential trade. With Reese’s performance and the team’s overall struggles, the Sky may consider moving her to a team that better suits her needs, or to address the team’s issues.
