Even before the Chicago Sky's offseason began, fans have been speculating about Angel Reese's departure from the team. But now, supporters of the Sky have a reason to think that the team will increase its effort to keep the disgruntled star.

On Thursday, the WNBA announced that the All-Star Game would be coming to Chicago. This has led netizens to think that Reese is more likely to stay put in the Windy City.

Meanwhile, other fans were not supportive of the idea that the Sky would be hosting the 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend. They claimed that the Sky organization has been in a state of disarray for some time now.

"If you planned to return a second time somewhere you've already recently been then you should return to Indy. Chicago, like the team, will be disorganized, unprepared, and an abundance of ripe stank that will hover over the city. Let the hilarity begin," one fan tweeted.

Reese, of course, has been vocal with the changes that she wants the Sky to make. Towards the end of the Sky's regular season, Reese gave an interview in which she demanded the Sky front office to bring in "great" players to enhance the roster.

The two-time All-Star went on to name-drop a number of her teammates. One particularly fiery comment was aimed at injured guard Courtney Vandersloot, whose age and value she questioned.

For her controversial comments, Reese was suspended for one half of a game against the Connecticut Sun. She went on to miss the last two games of the season, leaving fans to wonder if they'd seen the last of Reese in a Sky uniform.
