The Chicago Sky have traded two-time WNBA All-Star Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028, along with 2028 second-round swap rights, the teams announced on Monday. The move has sparked debate as Reese, 23, did not request a trade and remains one of the league's most dominant players.
Reese is fresh off back-to-back seasons averaging more than 12 rebounds per game, a WNBA first, and led the Sky last season in scoring with 14.7 points per game and assists with 3.7. She also recorded 23 double-doubles in 2025, topping the league. The Sky, who missed the playoffs for a second consecutive year, are now positioned to rebuild with an influx of draft assets.
