In her first two seasons in the WNBA, Angel Reese made the All-Star team twice, and earned down-ballot MVP votes as a rookie. That didn\u2019t stop the Chicago Sky from parting ways with the former LSU star.<\/p>\n
Reese, 23, was traded to the Atlanta Dream on Monday, the team confirmed.<\/p>\n
The Sky traded Reese and the right to swap second-round draft picks<\/a> with Atlanta in 2028, the team confirmed. In exchange for Reese, the Sky received the Dream\u2019s first-round picks in 2027 and 2028. The team also thanked Reese for her contributions in Chicago.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Reese also confirmed the news, calling it an \u201cAngel\u2019s dream\u201d to play for Atlanta.<\/p>\n Since joining the WNBA, Reese has performed like an elite player. As a rookie, she averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, earning a trip to the All-Star Game, finishing second in the Rookie of the Year voting and earning MVP votes.<\/p>\n She was arguably even better in her second year, averaging 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. After receiving criticism for her shooting ability, Reese increased her two-point field-goal percentage from .400 to .478 in her second season. She remained a menace on the glass, still pulling down rebounds at an exceptional rate. That performance earned Reese another trip to the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n But her time in Chicago was not without controversy. Reese was suspended by the Sky for a half after making what the team deemed comments that were \u201cdetrimental to the team<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
