Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is making sure everyone knows she’s putting in the work this offseason — and she’s looking stronger than ever heading into the next WNBA season.
Reese, one of the league’s most recognizable young stars, has quickly become a fan favorite not only for her impact on the court, but also for her personality, confidence, and relentless competitive edge. And while many players use the offseason to rest and recover, Reese has been focused on improving her body, sharpening her game, and returning at full strength after a challenging year.
The 23-year-old is also considered one of the biggest missing pieces in the second season of the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league. Reese was a major attraction during the league’s debut season, helping bring attention and excitement to the new format. She suited up for the Rose Basketball Club and played a key role in the team’s success, ultimately helping them capture the first-ever Unrivaled championship.
However, Reese’s most recent WNBA season wasn’t completely smooth.
She battled through a lingering back issue that forced her to miss significant time during the year. The injury kept her sidelined for 14 games, including the final four matchups of her second season with the Sky. Despite those setbacks, Reese still managed to deliver an impressive campaign that reminded fans and critics alike why she remains one of the most dominant frontcourt players in the league.
In 30 games during the 2025 season, the former LSU Tigers standout averaged 14.7 points per game while shooting an efficient 45.8% from the field. Even more impressive was her dominance on the glass, as she posted a league-best 12.6 rebounds per contest — a number that highlights her elite motor and physicality around the rim. Reese also contributed in multiple areas, averaging 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.6 minutes per game, showing growth as a playmaker and defender.
Her production and influence did not go unnoticed.
Reese earned her second consecutive All-Star selection, continuing to build on the momentum she’s carried since entering the league. Even with missed games, she remained one of Chicago’s most important players and a consistent force whenever she was on the floor.
Now, the Sky star is making it clear she’s determined to return even better.
Reese has been grinding through the offseason, working hard to regain full strength and stay ahead of the competition. Between her busy schedule and public spotlight, she has still made it a priority to remain consistent with her training, proving once again that her success isn’t accidental — it’s earned.
On Monday, Reese gave fans a glimpse into her offseason progress by posting a photo from the gym. In the image, she lifted her shirt to show off her toned abs, offering a confident snapshot of the work she’s been putting in behind the scenes.
The post instantly caught attention, serving as both a personal milestone and a message to the league: Angel Reese is locked in, healthy, and preparing to make noise when the season returns.
With her talent, intensity, and growing leadership, Reese appears ready to take another leap — and Chicago will be counting on her to help push the Sky toward bigger goals in the year ahead.
