Reese is off to an impressive start with the Sky in the WNBA, averaging nearly a double-double through her first nine games. The rookie is recording 11.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals per contest. Chicago now sits at 4-5 on the year following Thursday's victory.

Before her arrival in the WNBA, Reese enjoyed a stellar college career. She started at Maryland before transferring to LSU, where she was a two-time All-American, the 2023 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player, an NCAA champion (2023) and the SEC Player of the Year (2024).

Reese and Mulkey enjoyed a really impressive two-year run together in Baton Rouge. It was really cool to see the LSU coach make the trip to D.C. to see her former star forward in action in the WNBA.
