Reese did a lot as a rookie, but as the Sky look to establish winning pillars for their future, they see a more versatile future for their star.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Former LSU star Angel Reese’s homecoming in the Chicago Sky’s WNBA exhibition opener was a smashing success. Reese had 15 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Sky to a rousing 89-62 victory over the Brazilian national team on Friday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

Before Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese was a dominant force in the WNBA, she was breaking records and winning championships in college for the LSU Tigers. She and her teammates famously took down Caitlin Clark and Iowa during the 2023 National Championship Game, which catapulted Reese into being a polarizing figure.
