WNBA Fans In Disbelief Over Angel Reese’s League-Worst Stat originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Chicago Sky have won two straight games, giving them a 2-4 record during the 2025 WNBA season. After losing their first three games by a combined 73 points, the Sky have responded by rising to fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

2024 WNBA All-Star Angel Reese got off to a rough start this season, as she only made five of her 22 shots in the Sky’s first two games. Since then, however, her shooting percentage has improved from 22.7% to 31.1%.

Still, Reese has one of the lowest shooting percentages in the WNBA, especially on layups. She is currently third in the league in layups attempted with 54, but her 31.5% mark is by far the lowest among any other player in the top 10. In fact, Reese ranks dead-last in the WNBA among all players who have attempted at least 35 layups.

When WNBA fans got a hold of this statistic, they began to criticize Reese for her performance. Several took to social media to call out her play through six games.

“31% on layups is diabolical,” one fan replied.

“Does that (expletive) say 31% while shooting the 3rd most layups in the league?” a fan asked. “That is crazy.”

“31.5% on lay-ups lmao,” another fan commented.

“32% is just nasty,” a fan responded.

“Why is someone that is converting on only 3 out of 10 of their layup attempts taking the 3rd most in the league?” another fan questioned. “Coach Marsh is either directing her to do this or just passively allowing it to happen.”

“A big should never shoot 31% on layups,” one fan chimed in.

“31% on LAYUPS?!?!?!?” one asked.

Reese had a game earlier this season in which she missed all eight of her shots.

Reese is averaging 10.0 points and a league-leading 12.3 rebounds per game in 2025. Her assist and steal numbers are both improved too, as she is contributing 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals per contest, up from 1.9 and 1.3 a year ago.

Chicago is back in action on June 7, as it will take on the Indiana Fever in its first game of the 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup. Indiana, who is 2-4, may be without 2024 First-Team All-WNBA guard Caitlin Clark, who had a 20-point triple-double in the teams’ previous matchup.
