Angel Reese Stats Tonight: Sky star massively underperforms against Liberty in another blowout loss (May 22)

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky locked horns against the defending champions, the New York Liberty, in their second game of the 2025 WNBA season on Thursday. The Sky, searching for their first win, had another underwhelming start, just like they did in their opener against the Indiana Fever.

Chicago scored only 32 points while leaking 53 in the first half. Reese contributed to the struggles as she went scoreless in the first two quarters. She missed all five of her attempts and had three turnovers. Her eight rebounds, including six on offense, were the highlight of her first-half performance.

Reese shot 0-for-5, including 0-for-2 from the free throw line, in an underwhelming offensive display to begin this contest. She missed four shots under the rim on the same possession after securing her own rebounds. However, reigning finals MVP Jonquel Jones didn't let Reese get a successful putback on any of the attempts.

Reese had a slightly better second half but failed to convert a field goal. She took three more attempts and missed them all. Reese added four rebounds and three steals. Her two points on the night came from the free throw line, where she went 2-for-6.

Angel Reese and Sky achieve unwanted record

Angel Reese and the Sky achieved an unwanted record after suffering back-to-back blowout losses to begin the 2025 WNBA season. The Sky have a point differential of -60 after losing 93-58 to the Fever on opening day and 99-74 to the Liberty on Thursday. This is the worst point differential through two games in WNBA history.

Reese, who came in with great expectations after an impressive Unrivaled run, has failed to deliver on offense yet again. Through two games, the Sky's star rookie has shot 5-for-22, scoring 14 points.

Reese worked on her game throughout the offseason, and it reflected during Unrivaled. However, it hasn't translated into the WNBA. With the paint crowded, Reese has continued to struggle from point-blank range. The Sky will hope it's a part of the adjustment period and that she can shake it off as the season progresses.
