It was one of the first big moves of the offseason as the league and its players’ union reached agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement before any team could make any trades.
The Sky selected Reese in the first round of the 2024 WNBA Draft out of LSU. She had just won a national championship with the Tigers and was part of a class featuring Caitlin Clark.
Reese became one of the best rebounders in the league during her rookie season. She played in 34 games with Chicago in 2024 and averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds. She was an All-Star, finished second in Rookie of the Year voting and even got MVP voting.

She missed time during her second season with Chicago, playing in only 30 games, compared to 34 in her first season. Still, Reese maintained his prowess on the field. She averaged 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game.
The Sky failed to make the playoffs in each of Reese’s first two years. She also had two different coaches in her 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 ousted in the first round of the playoffs by the Indiana Fever.
