Angel Reese's third WNBA season will not be with the Chicago Sky.
On Monday, April 6, Prime's Taylor Rooks broke the news that the Sky were moving their star forward. The Sky and Dream later confirmed the move with dual announcements.
"This trade is designed to achieve roster balance and represents a great opportunity for all parties," Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca said in a statement. "We are thankful for her many important contributions to this league and this game, and we know she will continue to have a big impact on the court and beyond. We wish Angel all the best in her next chapter."
“Angel is a dynamic talent and a perfect fit for what we are building in Atlanta," said Dream general manager Dan Padover. "She has already proven herself as one of the most impactful players in the league, and her competitiveness, production and drive to win align seamlessly with our vision. This is an exciting moment for our organization and our fans."
The Dream acquired the two-time WNBA All-Star from the Chicago Sky in exchange for the Dream’s first-round picks in 2027 and 2028. The Dream will also receive the right to swap second-round picks with the Sky in 2028.
