Chicago Sky Extend Six-Game Losing Streak Despite Angel Reese Double-Double

The Chicago Sky suffered their sixth consecutive defeat, losing 103-86 to the Washington Mystics and dropping to a 7-19 record, the second worst in the WNBA. Despite returning from a back injury, Angel Reese delivered a standout performance with 22 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks, extending her double-double streak to 11 games—the third longest in WNBA history. However, the Sky struggled defensively and with turnovers, allowing the Mystics' rookie duo Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen to combine for 50 points and make WNBA history as the first rookie pair in team history to each score 20+ points in a game. Coach Tyler Marsh cited poor paint protection and persistent turnover issues as key reasons for the loss. Reese acknowledged her return was challenging but emphasized her commitment to helping the team. Chicago will aim to end its skid in its upcoming game against the Golden State Valkyries.
