Angel Reese is coming off a poor performance against Caitlin Clark and Fever
Angel Reese's rookie season is one of the greatest in WNBA history. She has established herself as a rebounding maestro in her first season in the pros.
However, when it comes to offense, Reese has had a difficult run. The Chicago Sky star didn't have a great game against her arch-rival, Caitlin Clark, in the Sky's previous game. After four consecutive losses for her team, Reese arrived in Dennis Rodman's jersey for the game with the intention of turning things around for her team.
However, she ended up having a bad night, at least on the offensive end. She scored just 10 points in 32 minutes. She didn't look aggressive on the offensive end and took only nine shots in the game, making only 44.4% of her shots.
Double-double is a daily game routine for Reese, as she also had 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal. The Sky lost their fifth straight game against the Fever.
