On the first possession of the Chicago Sky’s preseason, Courtney Vandersloot pitched the ball to Angel Reese on the left wing. The second-year All-Star turned, drove to the right side of the basket and earned a shooting foul.

Ahead of their season opener vs. Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, the Chicago Sky addressed their new style of play, veteran presence and more.

Reese is driven to make the playoffs, a good, seemingly attainable goal for a team with a healthy Kamilla Cardoso, a new veteran leader in Courtney Vandersloot and a star whose skill set is expanding before our eyes.
