Reese went off for a monster 24-point, 16-rebound double-double, which also marked her fourth consecutive game with at least 15 boards. For good measure, the former LSU star also added seven assists, a steal and two blocks to round out another all-around performance.
After the win, the Sky announced Reese as the Player of the Game. Kamilla Cardoso, who is currently away from the team on international duty, caught wind of the post, and the Chicago center just had to send a shoutout to her teammate.
“ANGEL MF REESE!!” Cardoso posted on Instagram.
Sunday marked Cardoso’s second missed game for the Sky after temporarily stepping away from the team to represent Brazil in the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup in Santiago, Chile. In a previous statement, Chicago head coach Tyler Marsh revealed that they don’t expect Cardoso back until July 6th.

It has been Reese who has taken on much of the workload for the Sky’s frontcourt amid Cardoso’s absence, and the former proved on Sunday that she is very much capable of doing so.

Chicago’s next game is on July 6 against the Minnesota Lynx, and it remains to be seen if Cardoso will be able to suit up for that one.
Sunday’s victory saw the Sky improve to 5-11 on the season, overtaking the Sparks for the No. 10 spot in the league.
