Angel Reese Returns to LSU in Sky Preseason Game
The Chicago Sky kicked off their 2025 WNBA preseason with a dominant 89-62 victory over the Brazil National Team. The game was played at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, a fitting location as it marked a homecoming for Angel Reese, who had previously led LSU to a national championship.
The Sky wasted no time asserting their dominance, jumping to a 30-17 lead in the first quarter behind strong performances from Kamilla Cardoso, Reese, and Kia Nurse. Chicago’s defense was relentless, limiting Brazil to just 10 points in the second quarter while extending their lead to 52-27 at halftime.
Reese was a standout performer, showcasing her signature rebounding and interior scoring. She finished the game with a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double in just 16 minutes, proving her ability to make an impact in limited playing time.
Her chemistry with Hailey Van Lith, her former LSU teammate, was evident, as the two reunited on the court for the first time in over a year. Van Lith contributed seven points, five assists, and three rebounds in her WNBA preseason debut.
The Sky utilized star players like Angel Reese and Van Lith, and also rotated all 18 players on their training camp roster, giving each a chance to prove themselves before finalizing their regular-season lineup.
