The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/wnba">WNBA</a> released the schedule for the 2025 season, and among the interesting facts, Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky and Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever will face off in the opening weekend. However, the Sky took a different approach to announcing their games, joining one of TikTok’s most popular trends.



In a video posted to X on Monday, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-sky">Sky</a> used the “suspect” trend to not only unveiled their full regular schedule, but to also take playful shots at their opponents. For example, they mocked (in good spirit) the Fever, with “suspect’s fans are always @-ing us in the comments.”



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-reese">Reese</a> was proud of the team. In a post on X, she wrote: “proud of our PR team. we ate that up.” However, the Sky weren’t the only team to have fun with the announcement, as the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty also shared some memes with the schedule.



This will be the third time in a row that the Sky begin their regular season on the road. They will be visiting Gainbridge Fieldhouse to face off the Fever on Saturday, May 17. Meanwhile, their home opener at Wintrust Arena will be the second game of the season on Thursday, May 22 against New York.

This is the first time since 2018 that the Sky and Fever have a season-opener matchup against one another. The Sky are 7-8 in road openers all time, having won their last three out of their last four road openers. On the other hand, Indiana is the only team Chicago plays five times this season.

<h2>Chicago is looking for a new era with Tyler Marsh in charge</h2>



After missing the 2024 playoffs, the Sky hired Tyler Marsh, former Aces’ assistant coach, as their new head coach, after the team ended the 2024 season with a 13-27 season record. While Angel Reese had an impressive rookie season, being the leader of rebounds in the league, it wasn’t enough for the Sky to reach the postseason.



As the Sky head into the 2025 season, they are optimistic about their young core. Reese and Kamilla Cardoso are expected to make significant contributions in their sophomore seasons. Additionally, the team hopes to retain leading scorer Chennedy Carter through restricted free agency.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/wnba/wnba-news-angel-reeses-honest-take-when-asked-about-caitlin-clarks-rivalry"></div>


To further bolster their roster, the Sky hold the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. This selection provides an opportunity to add another talented player to their young core and accelerate their rebuild.

WNBA 2025 Schedule: Caitlin Clark's Fever and Angel Reese's Sky to clash on opening weekend - Bolavip US

While she prepares to play for Unrivaled during the offseason, Angel Reese is also continuing with her podcast Unapologetically Angel. In her new interview with Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball, she revealed that the Chicago Bulls point guard helped her pay a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/wnba">WNBA</a> fine.



Reese received a fine after getting ejected from a game in June, during the fourth quarter of Chicago’s 88-75 loss to the New York Liberty. She received two quick technical fouls for showing her discontent with the officials.



At the time, Ball posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was going to pay the bill for the fine. “Ref that threw out @Reese10Angel is weak btw… You know who you are (Keep ya money Angel I got you),” he wrote.



On the podcast, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-reese">Reese</a> revealed that Ball was a man of his word, and he actually gave her $2,000 when the fine was only $200. Actually, Ball also revealed that he was at the game in person, and that it was his first WNBA game. Reese was originally set to pay $400, but the WNBA rescinded the second technical.

<h2>Reese’s remarkable rookie season</h2>



Despite some struggles, Reese had a solid rookie season with Chicago Sky. She averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, leading the league in rebounding. She also became the first rookie to record a triple-double, and the fastest to record a double-double.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/wnba/wnba-news-sky-star-angel-reeses-sharp-response-to-troll-criticizing-her-layups"></div>


Reese is currently in Miami, while she is preparing to play in the first season of Unrivaled, a new 3-on-3 league co-created by New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart and Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier.



The league, which offers some of the biggest salaries in women’s basketball, is set to tip off on January 17th in Miami, with training camp beginning on January 2nd. Games will be televised on TNT and streamed on Max.

Chicago Sky forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-reese">Angel Reese</a> is known for being straightforward and sharing her opinions without filters… And she also isn’t having it when it comes to Internet trolls, especially when it comes to criticizing her talent.



On Tuesday, the star received a comment on X (formerly Twitter) mocking Reese’s ability to make layups: “u realize u can’t make a layup on the first try most times, right”. And she was quick to give a sharp response:



“Do you realize I got drafted 7th in my class while ‘missing layups’ as a ROOKIE shooting 39% on the year &amp; was STILL an all-star… or you just laid up with your dog at home hating Adam??” Reese posted.



While Reese was criticized for struggling with her shots, she had a remarkable rookie season with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-sky">Chicago Sky</a>, in which she became the fastest rookie to reach 20 double-doubles, as well as the first rookie to record a triple-double.

Tyler Marsh, the newly appointed head coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-sky">Chicago Sky</a>, spoke about his expectations for two of his most important players: forward Angel Reese and center Kamilla Cardoso. The duo is expected to carry the franchise in the upcoming years, and Marsh has clear plans for the both of them.



“They’re young stars who have so much ahead of them, and being able to help them try to reach their potential is something that certainly appealed to me. And then also being able to put pieces around them that kind of highlight their strengths and what they do well, and building kind of that culture moving forward is definitely exciting,” he told Fox News.



When asked specifically for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-reese">Reese</a> and how he will help her expand her game, he said: “Angel has already showed some areas where she’s super efficient in,” but he’s looking to “expand on those” and help her be “multidimensional,” so she can help the team scoring, facilitating or defending.



“And the same with Kamilla,” he added. “We want both of them to be integral parts of who we are and what we do, and we don’t want them to just be one dimensional as far as their game goes. We want them to expand their games as much as possible, and open up the floor and create space for everyone else as well.”

However, he also expanded on what he wants from his new team, both defensively and offensively. “We’ve got to protect the paint first. So we have the mobility and the size to do that,” he said.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/sports/aces-star-aja-wilson-on-angel-reese-why-the-chicago-sky-star-reminds-her-of-herself"></div>


“We want to attack the ball and create turnovers so we can create extra possessions on offense. We want to control the boards, and we have to be in tune until we know the personnel, team tendencies, and individual tendencies,” he added.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20241114_BUS_272198_kamilla-1024x576_765e120d.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="kamilla cardoso" class="wp-image-272201" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/kamilla-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/kamilla-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/kamilla-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/kamilla-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/kamilla-740x416.jpg 740w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/kamilla-490x275.jpg 490w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/kamilla-250x140.jpg 250w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/kamilla.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kamilla Cardoso #10 of the Chicago Sky looks on during the game against the Seattle Storm (Steph Chambers/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Meanwhile, offensively “is a bit of the reverse. We wanna protect the ball, first and foremost. We don’t want to beat ourselves. If we turn it over, we want to be selfless turnovers, not selfish turnovers,” he explained. “We want to attack the paint and be creative doing so. We want to create for each other and we want to keep playing. We want to be a team that can play through flow.”



With his strong work ethic, basketball knowledge, and ability to connect with players, Marsh is well-positioned to lead the Sky to success. His focus on player development and team culture will be key to the franchise’s future.

WNBA news: Sky coach Tyler Marsh outlines plans to ‘expand’ game of Reese and Cardoso - Bolavip US

Tyler Marsh, the newly appointed head coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-sky">Chicago Sky</a>, wasted no time in outlining his priorities for the offseason, which include working closely with Angel Reese and the rest of the team in one key aspect: shooting.



“Lots of it. I told Rachel (Banham) and Michaela (Onyenwere) in our first conversations, ‘when we have it, I want you to feel the confidence of letting it ride.’ And that goes for everyone. Because we’re going to get you shooting some threes, too,” he said looking at Elizabeth Williams, prompting the laughs of the press.



The response wasn’t surprising as the Sky struggled with shooting throughout last season. The team made the fewest three-pointers in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/wnba">WNBA</a>. They only made 4.8 three-pointers per game, while the next worst team (the Connecticut Sun) made 5.9.



He continued, “We got some pieces that we’re going to add, and continue to build around the core that we already intact, moving forward. And so, I’m looking forward to that.” So, it seems like the plan it’s clear for the new coach who is, precisely, known for helping players improve their shooting skills.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">New Sky Head Coach Tyler Marsh on his biggest priority this offseason: "Shooting.

</div></figure>



Three-point shooting has been a key element of the Aces’ success under Marsh’s tenure on their coaching staff. In the 2024 regular season, Las Vegas posted a 35.5% three-point shooting accuracy, ranking fourth in the league.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/sports/stephanie-white-makes-something-clear-about-caitlin-clark-and-aliyah-boston-for-fevers-next-season"></div>


<h2>Angel Reese’s shooting stats can improve</h2>



While <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-reese">Angel Reese</a> is best known for being a great rebounder, her rookie season was marked by shooting struggles. She only made 39.9% of her shots and a mere 18.8% of her three-pointers. In fact, there were six games where she shot below 25% from the field.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/sports/sky-star-angel-reese-celebrates-coco-gauffs-wta-finals-triumph-with-warm-message"></div>


However, the forward, who has already recovered from a season-ending wrist fracture, is already working on her catch-and-shoot three-pointer, as seen in a recent social media post. If she can improve this skill, she could become an even more formidable player.

The Chicago Sky have officially named Tyler Marsh, a former assistant coach with the Las Vegas Aces, as their new head coach on a multi-year deal. Marsh, who previously oversaw player development for the Aces. His appointment has generally been met with enthusiasm from the Sky’s roster and fans alike, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-reese">Angel Reese.</a>



The Sky forward, known for her strong social media presence, reacted to the news with a simple but powerful post. In a message on X, Reese summed up her thoughts with just one letter: “W.” The post immediately caught the attention of Aces players, who immediately responded.



Sydney Colson reacted to Reese’s post with a playful jab. “Excuse me?! We’re grieving, have some respect!” she wrote. Reese didn’t hesitate to respond, teasing Colson with, “Sorry but your time is UP. It’s our turn! I’ll send you some tissue tho, sister girl, unless you want to come join this side too.”



Colson kept the lighthearted exchange going, replying with, “Lmaoo u just pissed me off so bad with this.” Alysha Clark also weighed in, writing, “Like give us a day. Dang.” To that, Reese responded: “snatchiesssssss … sorry not sorry sis.”

Marsh will lead a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-sky">Sky</a> team that features promising young talents, including Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. He steps in for Teresa Weatherspoon, who exited after one season. Under Weatherspoon, the Sky posted a 13-27 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2018.

<h2>Reese’s enthusiasm is a relief for the Chicago Sky</h2>



Reese’s support for her new coach brings some relief to the Chicago Sky, especially after she voiced concerns over Weatherspoon’s departure. “I can’t imagine playing for the Sky without [Spoon,]” Reese had told the Chicago Sun-Times after Weatherspoon’s departure. “She’s the one reason I wanted to come here.”

In a post on X, she reflected, “I’m truly lost for words, knowing what this woman meant to me at such a critical time in my life. She was the only person who believed in me, the one who trusted me. Many don’t understand what it’s like to be a Black woman in sports when you feel like no one else believes in you.”



However, it seems like she is ready for a fresh start.

Chicago Sky star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-reese">Angel Reese</a> has announced that her wrist recovery is progressing smoothly on her social media. The forward, who has been seen at the NFL this season, said that she is now free of her hand brace, one month after getting surgery.



“My hand brace is finally off,” Reese shared on social media, adding humorously, “The hiding-my-brace-with-my-bags era is OFFICIALLY OVER.” She referred to her efforts to hide the brace for the photos, which became a talking point between her and her fans.



Reese was sidelined for the last six games of the 2024 season after fracturing her left wrist, an injury that required surgery on September 10. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-sky">Chicago Sky</a> forward had previously said that she would be in a hard cast for four weeks, followed by a soft cast for two weeks.



With this new progress, Reese could resume basketball activities before the end of October. In a TikTok video posted last month, the athlete said that during her rehab period she would concentrate on maintaining her physical condition, with mostly running and doing specific exercises.

</div></figure>



Reese averaged 13.6 points and a league-best 13.1 rebounds per game in the 2024 season. She also recorded the longest double-double streak in league history with 15, and earned one first-place vote for WNBA Rookie of the Year, which eventually went to Indiana Fever’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caitlin-clark">Caitlin Clark</a>.

<h2>Reese is set to get better next season with Sky</h2>



While the Chicago Sky failed to reach the Playoffs this season, Reese has stated that she is ready to bring her best game to the court next season, even when it comes to her chemistry with teammates, such as Kamilla Cardoso.



“We’re just warming up. I know how to get the ball to Kamilla better than anyone else. I just know where she likes it. Just being able to build her confidence and being able to continue that, hopefully we can stay together for a really long time. But I know moving forward and going into the next season, it’s going to be crazy,” she revealed in her podcast Unapologetic Angel.

However, Chicago Sky will rebuild with a new head coach, as they fired first-year head coach Teresa Weatherspoon on September 27. The team haven’t appointed a new manager yet.

NBA legend Dwyane Wade defended Chicago Sky rookie <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-reese">Angel Reese</a> from the criticism regarding her scoring skills while appearing on the fifth episode of her podcast “Unapologetically Angel,” which was released on Thursday, Oct. 3rd.



“You’re someone who gets your work done early.” Wade said about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/wnba">WNBA</a> star rebounding abilities. “They don’t even have time to figure out what you’re doing and why you’re getting so many rebounds. When I came to Chicago I just sat there watching. I was like, ‘oh that’s why she is so dominant at this.’“



“When a player comes in from college or anywhere you want them to at least have a strength in something,” he continued. “Yours happens to be so strong, it allows people to start commenting on things you can’t do… That’s the world that we all live in. They’re gonna talk about what they can’t do,” said the 13-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> All-Star.



The Chicago Sky forward finished her rookie season leading the league in average rebounds. She ended the season averaging 13.1 rebounds per game, with the second-place player securing 11.9 rebounds per game, A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces.

However, Reese averaged 13.1 points per game, which ranked at No. 2 in the rookie class, behind <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caitlin-clark">Caitlin Clark</a>’s average of 19.2 points per game. Reese also finished her season early due to a wrist injury, for which she required surgery.



<h2>Clark won 2024 Rookie of The Year, Reese earned a vote</h2>



On Oct. 3rd, the WNBA finally confirmed that Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark was awarded with the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Award. However, the star didn’t win unanimously, as Angel Reese got a vote.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/sports/caitlin-clark-named-wnba-rookie-of-the-year-on-landslide-vote"></div>


Ahead of the final stretch of the season, both Clark and Reese were favorites for the award. However, with Reese ending her season early and the Chicago Sky failing to reach the playoffs, she lost her edge to clinch the title.



However, the forward also said in the episode that she will work on her shooting and will attempt to be a threat from the three-point line. Meanwhile, she still has to finish her recovery ahead of the next season.
