WNBA star and former LSU standout Angel Reese has been traded, according to a report.
Taylor Rooks broke the news on Monday morning, reporting that the Chicago Sky have traded Reese to the Atlanta Dream.
Reese has been immediately impactful early on in her WNBA career, earning All-Star nods in each of her first 2 pro seasons. She’s averaged about 14 points and 13 rebounds per game over 64 career regular-season contests.
However, Reese was suspended by the Sky toward the end of the 2025 season after she made comments that were “detrimental to the team.”

According to Front Office Sports’ Annie Costabile, Chicago’s return for Reese is Atlanta’s first-round draft selections in both 2027 and 2028. The Dream will also have the right to swap second-round picks in 2028, per the report.
Reese’s trade to the Dream strengthens a team that was already one of the best in the WNBA. Atlanta had the best record in the Eastern Conference last season but was eliminated by the Indiana Fever in the first round of the playoffs.
The Dream will open the 2026 season against the Lynx on May 10.
