Chicago Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca made several major changes to the roster this offseason. After the franchise let go of head coach Teresa Weatherspoon and replaced her with Tyler Marsh, the new regime has been finding ways to build around budding star forward Angel Reese.

The Chicago Sky’s preseason opener in Baton Rouge, La., will offer a rare return to the past for three of their youngest stars.

Ahead of her return to Baton Rouge, Reese credited coach Kim Mulkey for toughening her up and said, "My life just changed," after winning a national championship there in 2023.
