During the 2025 season, Reese had another good year, although Chicago struggled. The Sky finished with a record of 10-34, which was tied for the worst in the WNBA. The 23-year-old put up 14.7 points, 12.6 boards, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per contest.<\/p>\n

Before Reese’s third season with Chicago, the WNBA Players’ Association and the league have agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement. This new CBA includes a pay raise for many of the top players in the league.<\/p>\n
