Angel Reese‘s WNBA opening game with the Chicago Sky didn’t go as planned. The highly anticipated showdown between Reese and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark ended in a lopsided 93-58 defeat for Chicago on Saturday, leaving fans wondering just how long Reese will stay committed to her new team.
Among those adding fuel to the fire was sports columnist Jason Whitlock, who took to social media with a provocative prediction.
“I’m setting the over-under on when Angel Reese demands a trade at July 1,” Whitlock posted on X, sparking debate over whether the Sky rookie could soon grow frustrated with her surroundings.
The Sky’s offseason rebuild included sweeping changes, as former head coach Teresa Weatherspoon was replaced by Tyler Marsh, and veterans such as Courtney Vandersloot, Kia Nurse, Rebecca Allen, and Ariel Atkins were brought in to add experience.

The team also drafted rookies Hailey Van Lith and Maddy Westbeld, signaling a new era. But despite the roster shake-up, Chicago looked disjointed in their season opener, lacking a go-to scorer or playmaker to stabilize the offense.
Reese struggles but Clark shines
Reese posted a respectable double-double-12 points and 17 rebounds-but struggled from the field, shooting just 5-of-14. She also committed five turnovers, at times forced into roles outside her comfort zone, including handling the ball upcourt.
Meanwhile, Kamilla Cardoso logged just 21 minutes and was largely underutilized in the post-a sharp contrast to her effective usage last season.
Chicago’s inability to find rhythm on either end exposed lingering questions about the team’s identity and whether its roster can mesh quickly enough in a competitive Eastern Conference.
On the flip side, Caitlin Clark put on a show, delivering a triple-double in her WNBA debut with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and four blocks.
The former Iowa star shot 6-for-13 from the field and knocked down four three-pointers, showing off the range and floor vision that made her the No. 1 pick and a central figure in the league’s next generation.

Maple Leafs lineup vs. Panthers: Matthew Knies’ injury, other questions in Game 7
TORONTO — For the sixth time in the eight seasons, the Maple Leafs will play a Game 7. And this time, they’re hoping for a different result to keep their season alive and possibly change the narrative around this core once and for all.The Leafs have a 0-5 record in Game 7s since 2018, with three losses against the Boston Bruins and one loss each against the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. They also lost a deciding Game 5 to Columbus in 2020.AdvertisementThe challenge in front of them on Sunday night isn’t any easier: a Florida Panthers team whose core of Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov, Sergei Bobrovsky and others have won the only two Game 7s they’ve played — against the Bruins in 2023 (yikes) and the Edmonton Oilers in last year’s Stanley Cup Final (double yikes).Will history be the […]
Detroit Tigers Are MLB’s Most Surprising Juggernaut
When it came to the Detroit Tigers, seeing was disbelieving — at least in the eyes of the oddsmakers and sports bettors.Detroit’s stunning rally to grab an American League wild-card spot and then eliminate Houston in the playoffs last year seemed like a mirage. A typical All-Star player made more than the combined salaries of the Tigers’ entire playoff roster. In the games that Tarik Skubal didn’t start, manager A.J. Hinch pieced together bullpen games like someone trying to restore a broken vase with superglue. Their lineup, with the possible exception of outfielder Riley Greene, scared no one. There was plenty of skepticism that the Tigers’ smoke-and-mirrors approach could work for a full season. Entering this season’s opener, the Tigers had the ninth-best odds of winning the American League pennant. Perceptions have changed quickly during the first seven weeks of […]
