Chicago Sky Injury Report: Will Angel Reese Play Against Las Vegas Aces on September 3?
Angel Reese’s status remains uncertain as they prepare to face the Las Vegas Aces on September 3. Will the star player take the court, or will injury keep her sidelined? Read more.
Angel Reese is ready to face the Las Vegas Aces and isn't listed on the Chicago Sky's injury report. Just a few weeks ago, the Chicago Sky seemed like a sure bet for the WNBA postseason, but a six-game losing streak has allowed the Atlanta Dream to catch up in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot.
The challenge won't get any easier for Chicago as they head to the desert to take on the reigning champions, the Las Vegas Aces.
The Aces are coming off a dominant 97-79 road win over the Phoenix Mercury, with A'ja Wilson leading the way with 41 points and 17 rebounds. Although 12.5 points against Chicago favor Las Vegas, it's still wise to be cautious when betting on such a large spread in this league.
