Angel Reese is set to make her WNBA debut with the Chicago Sky on Wednesday, May 15th, against the Dallas Wings.

The former LSU Tiger was drafted seventh overall in the 2024 WNBA draft. She recently completed her first WNBA preseason, playing in both games. In those games, she averaged 13 points per game on 44.4% shooting to go along with seven rebounds per game, one assist per game, and two steals per game.

On Monday, just two days before her first real professional game, Reese revealed where she truly wanted to play in the WNBA prior to being drafted by the Sky.

“Yeah, I didn’t want to go anywhere else but Chicago,” Reese said, “Being able to come to a place I wanted to. Being embraced here and loved here by our amazing coach and fanbase and teammates is something I’m really happy about.”
