However, she only played 29 minutes in Wednesday's win. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Rookie forward Maddy Westbeld has begun playing more in July, appearing in each of the team's three games and averaging seven minutes per contest. Before these games, she had not subbed into four straight contests. Advertisement Westbeld's recent surge in playing time, however, has allowed other key rotational players to play fewer minutes. First-year Sky head coach Tyler Marsh admitted on Saturday that Reese is able to relax a bit more with Westbeld finally adjusting to the WNBA. "Maddy Westbeld has shown growth in adjusting to the speed of the game, and she has been beneficial in helping reduce Angel Reese's minutes as of late," Coach Marsh said, via Chicago State of Mind Sports. Reese is averaging 13.3 points, a league-leading 12.8 rebounds and a career-best 3.8 assists per game this season. She was named to her second consecutive All-Star team on Sunday. Advertisement Westbeld has only played in nine of the team's 19 contests this season, and she is averaging 1.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.3 assists per contest. The Sky's game against the 18-3 Minnesota Lynx tips off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
