Reese recorded the first triple-double of her career, making her the first player to record a triple-double for the Sky since Courtney Williams in 2023. Only four players in Sky franchise history have recorded a triple-double (Reese, Williams, Candace Parker and Courtney Vandersloot). Reese collected 11 points, 13 rebounds and a career-high 11 assists to achieve the feat.

Hailey Van Lith led the Sky in scoring for the first time in her career, amassing a career-high 16 points while shooting 75% (six of eight) from the field. In addition, Kamilla Cardoso scored 10 points to go along with seven rebounds; Kia Nurse scored 11 points; and Ariel Atkins garnered 10 points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block.

The Sky will return home and take on the Washington Mystics on Tuesday, June 17, at 7 p.m. CST. This is the first matchup between the two teams this season.
