The Chicago Sky have traded two-time WNBA All-Star Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream for a 2027 first-round pick and 2028 first-round pick, sources told ESPN’s Kendra Andrews on Monday.
The Dream also will receive 2028 second-round swap rights, sources told ESPN.
Last season, Reese led the WNBA in rebounds per game (12.6) for the second consecutive year. She also led the league in double-doubles (23) while also pacing the Sky in scoring (14.7 points) and assists (3.7).
Her relationship with the franchise, which drafted her No. 7 in 2024, became strained after she publicly expressed concern over the Sky’s point guard situation and indicated the team has to get great players this offseason or she might consider moving on. She later apologized to her teammates for those comments.
The Sky went 1-13 last season without Reese (10-34 overall) and missed the playoffs for the second straight year.
Reese’s rookie contract runs through 2026 with a team option for 2027.
Prime Video first reported the teams had agreed to a trade.
