Angel Reese Says She Will Return to Chicago Sky in 2026

Her on-record pledge quiets speculation about a possible exit from Chicago.

Overview

  • Speaking at USA Basketball camp, Reese said she will not seek a trade and confirmed she plans to play for the Sky in 2026 because she is under contract through 2027 with a team option.
  • She said she is in regular contact with head coach Tyler Marsh and general manager Jeff Pagliocca to strengthen those relationships.
  • The clarification follows a season-ending suspension and skipped exit interviews that fueled questions about her future, with Pagliocca previously saying the team had moved on from the suspension.
  • Reese reported her back injury is fully healed and practiced without restrictions as one of 17 invitees making a senior national team debut at the December camp.
  • National team coach Kara Lawson praised Reese’s work ethic and coachability, and if Reese earns a roster spot her next major opportunity would be the 2026 FIBA World Cup in September.
