Angel Reese had an eventful 48 hours this week that culminated in the Chicago Sky‘s 74-69 preseason win over the Minnesota Lynx in front of 4,688 fans at Wintrust Arena. Reese finished the game with eight points and nine rebounds.
Reese participated in the Met Gala on Monday night in New York City. She then flew to be with her teammates for their first WNBA preseason game on Tuesday night.
Chicago Sky star Angel Reese had a busy start to the week
Before the game, Sky head coach Tyler Marsh praised Reese for being able to “create time” for basketball despite her other ventures.
“The more you’re around Angel, the more you understand how she’s able to balance the schedule she has on and off the court,” Marsh said via Elias Schuster of Bleacher Nation. “Her willingness to maintain and create time is something that doesn’t get talked about enough. She always finds a way to get into the gym.”
