Angel Reese May Have Hurt Leg In Win Vs Chicago Sky
Reese Leaves Game Early
Angel Reese, the Atlanta Dream forward, was forced to the locker room Sunday after her right knee buckled while attempting a layup in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Sky. The incident happened when Reese reached for an open shot and the joint gave way, leading to her exit from the contest. Atlanta physicians have not yet released details on the severity of the injury.
Atlanta Holds Off Chicago
Despite losing Reese, the Dream managed to clinch a 93‑91 victory, their third consecutive win after a late‑June slump. Atlanta built a 22‑point cushion early but saw the Sky rally in the final period. Key free‑throw shooting and a buzzer‑beating layup by Jordin Canada sealed the win for the host team.
Statistical Highlights
Before departing, Reese posted eight points and five rebounds in what was a reunion with her former team. Allisha Gray paced both sides with 29 points and six rebounds for the Dream. The victory lifts Atlanta to fifth place in the WNBA standings, while Chicago remains mired in 12th with a 9‑17 record.
