WNBA's Sky trade Angel Reese to Dream for 2 first-round picks - ESPN

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, it was announced Monday.

The Dream also will receive 2028 second-round swap rights.

Reese, 23, defended her WNBA rebounding crown last season, averaging 12.6 per game. She is the only player in WNBA history to average at least 12.0 rebounds per game in a season, which she did in 2024 and 2025.

Reese also led the league in double-doubles (23) last season while also pacing the Sky in scoring (14.7 points) and assists (3.7).

«I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the Atlanta Dream organization,» Reese said. «I'm focused on continuing to grow my game, competing at the highest level, connecting with the fans, and giving everything I've got to the Dream.»

Reese did not request a trade, but the Sky worked closely with Chicago to find her a new home and that there was no contentiousness between the two parties, sources told ESPN. The Sky have missed the playoffs the last two years and are expected to revamp the roster this offseason.

In Atlanta, Reese will team up with dynamic guards Allisha Gray, who finished fourth in MVP voting last year, and Rhyne Howard. The Dream finished last season with the WNBA's third-best record (30-14) before losing in the first round of the playoffs to the Indiana Fever.

«Angel is a dynamic talent and a perfect fit for what we are building in Atlanta,» Dream general manager Dan Padover said in a statement. «She has already proven herself as one of the most impactful players in the league, and her competitiveness, production and drive to win align seamlessly with our vision. This is an exciting moment for our organization and our fans.»
