Angel Reese of WNBA Chicago Sky latest shoe stunt just spectacularly backfired. The real twist?

She actually thought she could replicate Caitlin Clark of WNBA Indiana Fever magic—not with skills, not with authentic appeal, but simply by hovering close enough to soak in the reflection.

As if standing next to greatness was the same thing as earning it. Are you ready to have a behind the scenes look at the WNBA All-Star weekend?

Sky forward Angel Reese is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Storm. Tyler Marsh said she experienced some back tightness coming out of Tuesday’s game against the Lynx and that it will be a game time decision.

She did not participate in the latter part of Thursday morning’s shootaround.

“She wants to be at 100%,” Marsh said. “It’s tough going through the ups and downs of the season whether it’s from an injury standpoint or a wins and losses standpoint, but she’s a fighter. She’ll continue to work through and battle back.”

Guards Ariel Atkins and Michaela Onyenwere will not play Thursday night as both are recovering from leg injuries. In their absence, Marsh expects hardship contract player Marquesha Davis to get into the rotation.
