Surprise Move: Atlanta Dream Acquires Angel Reese

Socialites, listen up! A rising young star in the league, Angel Reese, is making a move down South. The Chicago Sky has traded her to the Atlanta Dream.

Reese has been making waves since entering the league, drafted 7th overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft by Chicago. In her first two seasons, she showcased her skills, averaging 14 points and nearly 13 rebounds per game, establishing herself as a top forward.

In 2025, she led the league in rebounding, drawing attention all season. Prior to the WNBA, she made history by leading LSU Tigers women's basketball to a national championship in 2023. Now, Reese is ready for this new chapter.

Atlanta, coming off a strong 30-win season in 2025, sees Reese as a valuable addition. Head coach Karl Smesko praises her impact on both ends of the floor, energy, toughness, and instincts that align with the team's style of play.

Chicago fans will miss Reese's gritty play and big personality, but for Atlanta, a new era seems to be on the horizon. If Reese continues her stellar performance, the Dream could be a force to reckon with in the coming seasons.
