Angel Reese has insane stats tonight for Sky despite playing just 16 minutes image

Angel Reese looks ready for the WNBA regular season to get underway.

The Chicago Sky and Reese made their preseason debuts on Friday night, playing an exhibition against the Brazilian National Team.

Reese only spent 16 minutes on the floor.

In that short period of time, Reese still managed these stats:

  • 15 points
  • 10 rebounds
  • 2 steals
  • 4-7 FG

If she can put up those numbers over more like 30 minutes per night, she'll be looking at one of the biggest stat lines in the NBA.

Clearly, it's just the exhibition season, but it's encouraging regardless.

The Sky need Reese to be a star, and an efficient one around the basket. She did a good job with that in the middle of last season, getting better at making things happen all over the floor for Chicago.
