10-year veteran wing Rebecca Allen poured in a game-high 27 points for the Sky in the win. Two-time All-Star forward Angel Reese contributed 15 points and 11 rebounds for Chicago as well.
This week has been monumental for Reese, as she was named to her second WNBA All-Star team, Reebok announced an update for her signature shoes, and EA Sports made her the WNBA cover athlete for 2K26. Reese posted on Instagram Thursday morning to commemorate these accomplishments.
