Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese started off Wednesday by extending her historic double-double streak to 14 games in a win over the Atlanta Dream, then joined “NBA Today” on ESPN to discuss her impressive season and upcoming All-Star appearance.
This year’s showcase will feature a unique format that pits the U.S. women’s national team against Team WNBA ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Reese will suit up for Team WNBA alongside fellow rookie star Caitlin Clark, which she says will be a “really cool” experience.
“I know so many fans are gonna come out to watch both of us,” Reese said. “I know a lot of people are just gonna come to Phoenix, I’m sure it’s already sold out. Being able to be in that environment, we’re gonna be playing together for a while so this is not gonna be the [last] time. I know we’ll be All-Stars again, and hopefully, 2028 we’ll be Olympians together.”
- Reese’s comments on teaming up with her collegiate rival echo the ones Clark made earlier this season.
