Chicago Sky React To Angel Reese's Viral Fan Moment After Mercury Loss

Angel Reese did all she could for the Chicago Sky on Sunday night as the rookie put up a monster 19-point, 20-rebound double-double. It was far from enough, though, as the Phoenix Mercury made easy work of Chicago in what turned out to be an 86-68 blowout win for the home team.

Despite the heavy loss, Reese still made sure to take the time to show her appreciation to the fans who came out to watch her at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. One young supporter, in particular, was sitting courtside with a big Angel Reese sign that said that the Sky star "will always be the All-Star of my heart."

After the game, Reese approached the young girl to give her a warm hug and to snap a quick photo with her. This prompted a heartfelt reaction from the Sky as they highlighted Reese's effort to constantly connect with her fans.

"What it’s all about ❤️" the Sky posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Reese wasn't exactly in a jovial mood after the final buzzer, which is perfectly understandable after being on the wrong end of an embarrassing blowout loss. Nevertheless, the 22-year-old still made sure to show her love back to her supporters.

Reese and Co. get a few days off before they play the third of three straight road games to start the second half of the WNBA season. It's the Connecticut Sun that's up next for the Sky as they look to improve on their 11-16 record.
