Angel Reese didn’t need many words after helping the Atlanta Dream take down the Indiana Fever on Thursday night. The stat line spoke loudly enough. Fresh off Atlanta’s 108-101 victory over Indiana, the Dream shared a simple message across social media alongside Reese’s latest highlight reel.
“Hard? HARDLY 💪”
The post also included a direct push for fans to vote Reese into the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game. Considering what she’s been doing lately, it’s becoming harder and harder to argue against her case.

— Atlanta Dream (@AtlantaDream) June 19, 2026Angel Reese delivers again on national stage
The Dream forward put together another dominant performance against one of the WNBA’s biggest draws. Reese finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds in just 29 minutes while helping Atlanta improve to 10-4 on the season.
Despite getting into foul trouble early, Reese responded with a strong second half and played a major role in closing out Indiana’s late comeback attempt. It marked her second consecutive double-double and her seventh in the last eight games.
For a player who has built her reputation on relentless effort and rebounding, Thursday’s performance showcased something more.
Reese was efficient. She shot 8-for-14 from the field and repeatedly found ways to score in traffic against Indiana’s talented frontcourt.
The numbers behind Reese’s All-Star push
While fan voting continues, Reese’s season-long production continues to stack up with some of the league’s biggest stars.
Through 14 games, the former LSU standout is averaging:
• 15.1 points per game
• 12.2 rebounds per game
• 2.9 assists per game
• 1.3 steals per game
• 0.9 blocks per game
Her 12.2 rebounds per contest rank among the league leaders and have helped fuel Atlanta’s rise near the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The Dream currently sit at 10-4, trailing only the New York Liberty in the conference.

Reese is building momentum at the perfect time
The timing couldn’t be better. Earlier this week, the first returns from WNBA All-Star fan voting were released, sparking debate across the league about which players deserve starting spots.
Reese has already established herself as one of the WNBA’s most recognizable stars, but her recent play is giving voters even more reason to take notice. Over Atlanta’s recent stretch, she’s consistently delivered double-doubles while helping the Dream emerge as a legitimate contender.
Thursday’s win over the Fever only added to that momentum.
Another Fever showdown awaits
The rivalry between Atlanta and Indiana isn’t finished. The two teams are set to meet again Saturday, giving Reese another opportunity to strengthen her All-Star case in front of what is expected to be one of the most-watched WNBA audiences of the weekend.
If her latest performance was any indication, the Dream star plans to keep making the decision difficult for anyone filling out an All-Star ballot. And judging by Atlanta’s message after the game, the organization believes the case has already been made.
