The Atlanta Dream received positive news regarding star forward Angel Reese ahead of their WNBA playoff series against the Washington Mystics.

The team, which achieved 30 wins in the regular season, is confident in their talent and aims for a deep playoff run. Reese is expected to be the focal point, providing rebounding and impact throughout the series.
