April 6 : Chicago Sky have traded power forward Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for two first-round draft picks, the WNBA team said on Monday.
Reese, 23, was chosen as the seventh overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and quickly became one of the league's standout names, earning acclaim alongside Indiana Fever's sharpshooter Caitlin Clark.
Reese led the league in rebounding during the 2024 and 2025 campaigns.
The deal sees Atlanta acquire Reese in exchange for a first-round pick in both the 2027 and 2028 drafts, American media reported.
