Angel Reese made an incredible defensive play captured by a courtside camera that showed how her physical presence is enough to succeed in the WNBA. The Chicago Sky ended preseason with a blowout victory, thanks in part to this dominant play.
Making the most of her 24 hours
The 101-53 rout of the Seattle Storm came less than 24 hours after Reese traveled to New York City to celebrate her birthday and her fashion ambitions at the 2024 Met Gala. The 22-year-old made it clear that no matter what else goes on in her jet-setting lifestyle, her energy and hustle on the court bundled with her natural athleticism will bring her success in the professional game.

Angel Reese preseason stats
Much like fellow first-round draftee and college basketball star Caitlin Clark, the former LSU star faced plenty of skepticism when she entered the WNBA about how her game would translate, especially against more physical bigs in the W.
Through two preseason games, Angel has answered the questions with the eye test and her stats. Her impact felt in the courtside video from the Sky’s win against the Storm matches her preseason averages of 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals per game in 21 minutes per contest.
