Angel Reese Goes Viral for Airball on Wide Open Shot in Sky-Sparks

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is amid a historic WNBA rookie season. Entering Friday's game against the Los Angeles Sparks averaging 13.3 points and 13.2 rebounds, Reese has broken multiple records with her rebounding and double-doubles.

While her per-game averages are impressive, Reese has struggled quite a bit from the field. Converting on just 38.4 percent of her field goal attempts entering Friday, Reese has also made just 15.4 percent of her three-point attempts.

Given these percentages, opposing defenses will often concede Reese jump shots. That was on full display during Friday's Sky vs. Sparks game, as Reese shot an airball while wide open.

Reese has been going viral for her wide open airball, as this post from BricksCenter on X already has 23,000 views in less than an hour. Multiple other big accounts have posted Reese's bad miss, including Hater Report, which has 105,000 followers.

"Angel nooooo," Hater Report wrote on X.

This post already has 26,000 views in under an hour. While Reese often goes viral for her record-breaking performances, the occasional lowlight will also hit social media during Sky games.

Chicago entered this game on a seven-game losing streak that dropped their overall record to 11-22 on the season.

Despite their losing streak, Chicago entered this game against Los Angeles in the eighth and final WNBA playoff spot. The top-eight WNBA records make the postseason regardless of conference, so Chicago still controls their own destiny when it comes to a playoff berth.

While they are trending in the wrong direction, the Sky still have six games remaining after this one against the Sparks.
