Angel Reese Excited to Return to Chicago with Dream After Injury, Suspension and Turbulent Season with Sky
The move locks Reese into at least two more seasons in Atlanta, and ticket demand has already surged 15 times, StubHub said.
- On Tuesday, the Atlanta Dream exercised Angel Reese's fourth-year contract option, securing the two-time WNBA All-Star through at least the 2027 season as a centerpiece alongside Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray.
- Atlanta acquired Reese from the Chicago Sky months ago by trading two first-round picks, aiming to build a championship-caliber frontcourt with the LSU alum after a turbulent 2025 season in Chicago.
- Reese will make her regular-season debut for Atlanta on May 10 against the Minnesota Lynx. "No, just another exciting opportunity for me to be in Chicago," Reese said, framing her return to face the Sky as forward-looking rather than revenge.
- Following the Orlando Magic's 94-88 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday, Reese reposted video of her ex-boyfriend, Pistons center Jalen Duren, being dunked on by Magic forward Jamal Cain in the fourth quarter.
- Atlanta head coach Karl Smesko is integrating Reese into a frontcourt featuring Brionna Jones, with Rhyne Howard balancing scoring and team involvement to build chemistry through daily progress.
