"Maybe Angel Reese actually sucks" - WNBA fans livid as Chicago Sky's winless streak continues with 0-3 season start

The Chicago Sky's 91-78 loss to the LA Sparks on Sunday marked their third consecutive defeat to begin the 2025 season. The franchise has made its worst start to a season since 2010, when it began 0-4.

After losing the first four games of the 2010 season, Chicago, led by Sylvia Fowles, went on a four-game winning streak. However, the Sky did not make the playoffs, finishing the season at the bottom of the Eastern Conference (14-20).

This season, the Sky lost 93-58 to the Indiana Fever on opening night and suffered a 99-74 defeat vs. the New York Liberty in their home opener on Thursday. Sky star Angel Reese earned flak from fans following the team's winless run.

"Reese most overrated prospect in history of WNBA and it's not close," one fan said.

"Maybe Angel Reese actually sucks," another commented.

Maybe…Angel Reese actually sucks 🤣🤣

Several fans also criticized Chicago coach Tyler Marsh. The first-time head coach replaced Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon, who was fired after just one season with the team.

And you fired Weatherspoon for Marsh ?

Stay strong fans…

This is honestly sad, I thought we were getting a basketball guru when hiring Tyler but this is just bad and embarrassing…

LA is one of the weakest teams and Sky still lost. We need Chennedy Carter back she was your best player.

Chicago Sky’s really not winning a single game this season this is crazy

With the win against the Sky, the Sparks snapped their three-game losing skid and improved to 2-3. Chicago is one of three teams still winless this season. The others are the Dallas Wings and the Connecticut Sun, which have 0-4 records.

Angel Reese was hit with 'too small' celebration by Kelsey Plum in Chicago Sky loss

Early in the game between the Chicago Sky and the LA Sparks on Sunday, new Sparks star Kelsey Plum hit the "too small" celebration after scoring a basket against Angel Reese.

Plum drove hard and blew by Reese, who switched on the 5-foot-8 guard off a sideline inbound. After the easy layup, Plum broke out the "too small" gesture.

Plum, whom LA acquired this offseason, led her team with 28 points and eight assists on 9-for-18.

On the other hand, Reese led Chicago with 13 points and 12 rebounds on 5-for-11. Kamilla Cardoso added 12 points, while Courtney Vandersloot and Rebecca Allen scored 11 apiece.

The Chicago Sky will return to action on Tuesday. They will look to avoid starting 0-4 as they battle the Phoenix Mercury (3-1) on the road.
