Angel Reese hints at goodbye, and both Chicago and the WNBA brace for what’s next

Angel Reese finished her sophomore season in the WNBA as one of the most magnetic figures in the game. On the court, her numbers spoke for themselves. The forward averaged nearly 15 points and 12 rebounds per game, solidifying her place as one of the league’s most dominant interior players. Off the court, she made headlines by walking the runway for Victoria’s Secret, becoming the first professional athlete to do so. With that, Reese proved her impact stretches far beyond basketball.

While her personal brand continues to rise, the Chicago Sky stumbled. The team missed the playoffs, and according to Marca, rumors of internal tension and mounting frustration began to surface. Things escalated after a cryptic social media post that many interpreted as a subtle farewell. Since then, Angel Reese has been linked to teams like the Las Vegas Aces, where she could instantly contend for a championship.

A team under construction

Chicago’s front office maintains that Angel Reese remains the centerpiece of their rebuild. General manager Jeff Pagliocca stated they expect her to stay through 2026, though he admitted, “in this business, anything can happen.” The dilemma is clear: Reese wants to win now, while the Sky are still in transition mode.

What’s not up for debate is her star power. Angel Reese’s jersey was among the league’s top sellers, and her media presence has been relentless. She’s become a polarizing figure—celebrated for her authenticity, criticized for her boldness. But ignoring her is no longer an option. Her rookie season exceeded expectations, and her strong personality may very well shape the next major shift in the WNBA.
