Angel Reese Says She’ll Return to the Chicago Sky in 2026

The announcement provides short-term clarity around 2026, with her longer-term stay hinging on results and trust inside the organization.

Overview

  • Speaking at USA Basketball camp, Reese said she plans to honor her deal next season and will not seek a trade.
  • She said her back is fully healed and that she was a full participant on Day 1 of camp.
  • Reese emphasized ongoing relationship-building with head coach Tyler Marsh and general manager Jeff Pagliocca.
  • Her 2025 season closed with a league suspension for technical fouls, a team-issued half-game suspension, missed final games due to a back injury, and skipped exit interviews.
  • Chicago went 10-34 as roster issues persisted, and the Tribune reported ownership made the suspension decision that a source said strained trust, leaving longer-term retention tied to on-court improvement.
