Chicago Sky star Angel Reese earned her second WNBA All-Star appearance in as many seasons Sunday when she was named a reserve for this year's festivities in Indianapolis.

Sky coach Tyler Marsh informed Reese and her teammates at practice that she would represent the squad as their sole participant at the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. When the Sky heard the news, they absolutely erupted in excitement for their star player.

The players made Reese give a speech after the commotion settled down, where she humbly deferred the accomplishment to the full group.

"I'm very thankful for you guys," she began. "I don't think individual awards happen without the team so I appreciate you guys for standing with me, sticking by me publicly and privately through the whole season so thank you guys, I love you guys."

She's the only player across the league to average more than 10 rebounds per game so far this season, with a whopping 12.6 boards per contest. She's also the only WNBA player averaging a double-double this year, adding 12.4 points per game alongside the 12.6 rebounds.

The Sky sit toward the bottom of the league standings with a 5–11 record, with only the 2–15 Connecticut Sun below them. Amid the difficult season, Reese rightfully gets her flowers and her teammates couldn't be more thrilled.
