The 6-foot-4 forward showed little to no signs of rust, and her return instantly made the Sky far more competitive than they had been in recent outings. Reese posted 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 26:20 minutes.

Meanwhile, Chicago fell to 8-26 after suffering yet another loss on Tuesday. With 10 games remaining in the season, Reese and her teammates will be desperate to end their campaign on a high note by stringing together some wins. The team holds the second-worst record in the league.
