As a sure-fire 2024 first-round pick, Angel Reese will have no shortage of interested WNBA teams following her upcoming senior season. But, while Reese’s prospects look bright, the LSU star recently expressed her concerns with the lack of opportunities for others at the next level.
With the discussion of WNBA expansion raging on, Reese joined the growing contingent of stars calling for the league to grow during an interview for a cover story with Harper’s Bazaar released on Thursday. The 21-year-old forward also advocated for the idea of the WNBA adding teams by summer 2024, when Reese and Iowa star Caitlin Clark will be among the big names joining the pro ranks.
“I hope that there will be more teams so that everybody has an opportunity, because there are so many great players and they currently only have 144 in the league. I want the WNBA to grow,” Reese said. “So hopefully, by the time I and Caitlin Clark and all these other players go out, there will be opportunities for others to get on a team.”
