Angel Reese Confirms She Will Return to the Chicago Sky for 2026

Angel Reese, the standout forward for the Chicago Sky, has publicly confirmed that she plans to play with the team in the upcoming 2026 WNBA season. Despite some uncertainty surrounding her future with the franchise last year, Reese reiterated that she remains under contract and intends to continue in Chicago.

Reese’s status with the Sky had been a topic of discussion after she was suspended for a brief period in 2025 for comments considered “detrimental to the team,” something she later addressed with apologies.

Drafted seventh overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Reese has quickly established herself as a cornerstone player for the Sky. She led the league in rebounds and double-doubles in the 2025 season and has become one of the most dynamic young talents in the WNBA.

Reese also participated in USA Basketball’s training camp, signaling her commitment not just to her club but to elite international competition ahead of the 2026 season.

The Sky, meanwhile, continue to build around her core while navigating the offseason — including overseas play, offseason development, and roster adjustments.
