The Sky only managed 13 wins despite the entry of highly touted rookies Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese, which they selected as the No. 3 and No. 7 overall picks, respectively, in last year's draft.

"I know a lot of pressure is probably on here from the outside," Reese said Monday of new Chicago Sky teammate Hailey Van Lith, per Steve Greenberg of the Chicago Sun-Times. "I know how it is just being the big name coming to town expected to do big things. … Just being that 'big sister' I guess kind of to her this year is super important for her."

Angel Reese is hoping for a much different second season in the WNBA with the Chicago Sky. The league’s leader in rebounds for 2024 is back in training camp this week with a lot of new faces on the roster and new head coach Tyler Marsh.
