It’s one of the first big moves in the offseason when the league and its players union reached an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement before any team could make any transactions.
The Sky selected Reese in the first round of the 2024 WNBA Draft out of LSU. He was coming off a national championship with the Tigers and was part of a class that included Caitlin Clark.
Reese emerged as one of the league’s best rebounders during her rookie season. He played 34 games with Chicago in 2024 and averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds. He was an All-Star, finished second in Rookie of the Year voting and even earned an MVP vote.

He missed some time during his second season with Chicago, only playing in 30 games, down from 34 in his first season. Still, Reese maintained his prowess on the court. He averaged 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game.
The Sky failed to reach the postseason in each of Reese’s first two years. He also had two different coaches in his first two seasons and is about to have a third.
The Dream had the best record in the WNBA last year at 30-14. However, the team was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Indiana Fever.
