The Chicago Sky have announced that Angel Reese and Ariel Atkins will miss Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Dream due to leg injuries. The specific nature and origin of Reese's injury are unclear, as the team only provided a "leg" designation for both players.
Ariel Atkins sustained her leg injury during the first half of Monday's loss to the Minnesota Lynx. She left that game at halftime and did not return. Reese played 37 minutes in the same game, recording 22 points and 10 rebounds.
Reese's injury comes days before she is scheduled to play in the WNBA All-Star Game this Saturday, where she is set to play for Team Collier against Team Clark. It remains uncertain how long Reese will be out or if the injury jeopardizes her All-Star participation.
Reese, 23, is in her second WNBA season and earned her second All-Star selection. She leads the league in rebounding, averaging 14 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, while improving her field goal percentage to 44.6%.
Atkins, a two-time All-Star previously with Washington, has started all 21 games for Chicago this season. She averages 13.9 points, 3.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.9 steals, shooting 42.5% from the field and 35.4% on three-pointers.
The Sky, who finished 13-27 last season, continue to struggle in 2025 with a 7-14 record.
