The Seattle Storm looks to strengthen its grasp on the No. 8 seed in the WNBA playoffs on Tuesday at Wintrust Arena to take on the Chicago Sky.

But they still brought back star forward Angel Reese on Tuesday after she had missed seven games due to a back injury. Although the Sky lost to the Seattle Storm, 94-88, Reese picked up right where she left off. She hit nine of her 13 shot attempts to score 19 points, and she also added seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes.

The Chicago Sky standout announced her debut signature shoe, the Angel Reese 1. Three colorways, Diamond Dust, Receipts Ready, and Mebounds, will be available for purchase on Sept. 18. In an interview with Elle, Reese discussed the expedited release and what her new shoe offers.

There are only three competitive weeks remaining in the 2025 season, and this week's WNBA power rankings reflect every team's urgency.

On Monday, the Seattle Storm signed Zia Cooke to a rest-of-season contract. Throughout her first season with the Seattle Storm, Zia Cooke has posted 3.3 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Before her time with the Storm, Cooke played two seasons with the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Chicago Sky soon may be one of only four WNBA teams with fully independent ownership. Could that change? And would Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf consider following the trend?

This could result in scheduling conflicts between the WNBA postseason and the tennis tournament, according to a report by Tim Kawakami of the San Francisco Standard. The Valkyries would likely have to maneuver around the Laver Cup in order to host games in the first two rounds of the playoffs, which begin on September 16.

Leslie has always been supportive of Reese. In fact, the WNBA icon often comments on the 23-year-old star's social media posts. During the past offseason, Leslie also worked with Reese while the Sky player was participating in the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league. At the same time, Leslie even promised to help Reese fix her layup.
