Angel Reese stats tonight: Superstar's cold shooting night can’t stop double-double as Sky fall to Valkyries (June 27, 2025 WNBA Season)

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky squared off against the Golden State Valkyries in a regular-season showdown at the Chase Center on Friday. The Sky rolled out a slightly reworked starting lineup, with Reese joined by Rebecca Allen, Ariel Atkins, Michaela Onyenwere and Rachel Banham.

Reese turned in a mixed performance, with her offensive impact fluctuating throughout the game. While she secured her usual double-double, it wasn't enough to lift the Sky, who ultimately fell short in an 83-78 defeat.

In the end, the Sky forward dropped a stat line of 17 points, 18 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes. She shot an inefficient 7-for-16 from the floor, including 1-for 2 from deep, and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line. The former LSU standout committed three turnovers and recorded a plus/minus of -14.

Angel Reese through 4 quarters vs. Golden State Valkyries

Reese had a tough start offensively, struggling to find her rhythm as her shots simply wouldn’t fall. Despite the early struggles, she stayed aggressive, continuing to take her chances whenever openings appeared. She went just 1-for-5 from the field in the first quarter, finishing the period with two points and four rebounds in 6:25 of play.

The second quarter proved even more challenging for Reese, who surprisingly shifted gears and didn’t attempt a single shot throughout the period. Despite being on the floor for all 10 minutes, her lack of offensive aggression stood out as the Sky continued to struggle on that end. Reese’s passive approach during a crucial stretch did little to help Chicago climb out of their scoring slump.

At halftime, Angel Reese had just two points on 1-for-5 shooting, including 0-for-1 from beyond the arc. She recorded seven rebounds, one steal and two turnovers in 16:25 minutes.

Reese came out aggressive after halftime, putting up four shot attempts in the third quarter. However, her shooting struggles persisted, with just one make, her lone basket coming from beyond the arc. Despite the inefficiency, she remained a force on the glass, once again hitting double digits in rebounds.

Reese came out strong in the fourth quarter, helping the Sky briefly reclaim the lead with three made baskets. She recorded yet another double-double on the season, continuing her dominance on the boards. However, shooting efficiency remained a concern for the star forward as Chicago ultimately fell short and suffered another tough loss.
