There's uncertainty surrounding the 2026 WNBA season amid ongoing CBA negotiations, but it's business as usual for Chicago Sky All-Star Angel Reese, who made her intentions for next season clear.
"I'm under contract, so yes I plan on returning to the Sky," said Reese, who is attending Team USA training camp this weekend at Duke. Reese's blunt confirmation comes after a tumultuous end to her sophomore WNBA season, which left some wondering whether a split was on the horizon.
Reese was handed a half-game suspension on Sept. 7 for statements detrimental to the team after vocalizing her frustrations with the franchise, telling the Chicago Tribune she's "not settling for the same s--- we did this year," among other comments. She missed the remaining two games of the season due to a back injury and the Sky finished tied at the bottom of the standings at 10-34, the team's third consecutive losing season.
The two-time All-Star cleared the air on Friday in her first media availability since September.
