An update on the injury of Chicago Sky star Angel Reese was posted by Chicago Tribune's Julia Poe on X/Twitter on Tuesday.

Reese exited the final game of Rose BC on March 10 after she hurt her left wrist in a play during the third quarter. She had surgery on the same wrist in September amid her rookie WNBA season.

Despite Reese being sidelined for the Unrivaled playoffs, Rose ended up winning the first-ever championship of the 3-on-3 league. The Sky star was named the Defensive Player of the Year and was selected as part of the All-Unrivaled second team.

Reese has previously mentioned that she trained with WNBA legend Lisa Leslie during the offseason, in addition to her successful stint in Unrivaled.

In 2024, Reese was a runner-up to Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark in the Rookie of the Year race. She averaged 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 34 games. She shot 39.1% in 32.5 minutes per game.

Angel Reese aims to carry her transformation to the upcoming WNBA season and help Chicago reach the playoffs.
