Angel Reese’s Blockbuster Move: Chicago Sky Trades WNBA Star to Atlanta Dream

Chicago Sky's power forward, Angel Reese, has been traded to Atlanta Dream for two future first-round draft picks. Acclaimed for her performance, Reese led the league in rebounds in 2024 and 2025. Chicago's GM highlights the trade as a strategic roster decision, despite Reese's significant contributions.

In a major trade announcement, the Chicago Sky revealed on Monday that star power forward, Angel Reese, will be leaving for the Atlanta Dream. This exchange involves the Dream handing over two first-round draft picks.

Reese, 23, who was picked seventh overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, quickly rose to fame by leading the league in rebounding for two consecutive years. Her formidable presence made her a standout player alongside others like Caitlin Clark of Indiana Fever.

According to Chicago's General Manager Jeff Pagliocca, the trade is part of an effort to balance the team's roster and offers great opportunities for all parties involved. Despite Reese's outstanding contributions, Chicago failed to qualify for the playoffs in the past two seasons, prompting the strategic move.
