CHICAGO (AP) — Angel Reese is ensuring some of the glare from the bright spotlight on the WNBA shines squarely on the Chicago Sky.
The Sky are embracing all the attention — led by the gregarious Reese.
The seventh overall draft pick will remind anyone who will listen that there is a group of rookies helping boost soaring WNBA ratings, attendance and revenue, not just the one who plays in Indiana. However, Reese has repeatedly said she has no animosity toward Caitlin Clark and the deserved attention that comes her way, but just wants fans to appreciate the group as a whole.
It has been an impressive start for Reese — and her new team.
