Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has turned her breakout rookie season into a growing presence both on and off the court. Known for leading the WNBA in rebounds and earning a spot on the All-Star team, Reese also finished second in Rookie of the Year voting. Her success has translated into a number of endorsement deals and media ventures during the offseason.
Reese launched her own podcast to engage with fans and signed partnerships with major brands including Reebok, Amazon, and Beats by Dre. Her rising profile earned her a cover appearance on Vogue and a spot at the prestigious Met Gala in New York City.
Recently, Reese used her platform to surprise her teammates with a thoughtful gift. After what appeared to be an intense practice, she handed out Beats Pill speakers to every player on the team, using her endorsement with Beats by Dre to show appreciation.
This gesture highlights Reese’s leadership and sense of team unity. Small acts of generosity from star players often boost team morale. Building camaraderie ahead of a high-stakes season can make a difference on the court.
The Sky will need that unity as they prepare for a major test on May 17, when they face the Indiana Fever in the 2025 season opener. The league has framed this matchup as an early rivalry between two young, ambitious teams.
Led by Caitlin Clark, the Fever aim to prove they can compete with the league’s best. Meanwhile, the Sky are focused on a playoff run. With both teams looking to make a statement, all eyes will be on this opening-night showdown.
