Angel Reese Joins Atlanta Dream in Major WNBA Trade
11 Apr
Summary
- Angel Reese traded to Atlanta Dream from Chicago Sky.
- Atlanta Dream re-signing Naz Hillmon, Brionna Jones, and Allisha Gray.
- Reese joins Dream after two seasons with the Chicago Sky.
Angel Reese will play for the Atlanta Dream in the upcoming 2026 WNBA season, having been traded from the Chicago Sky. During her two seasons with the Sky, Reese became a standout player, averaging 14.1 points and 12.9 rebounds per game. However, the Sky struggled, failing to reach the playoffs in both seasons.
Following the trade, the Dream are making significant moves to build a competitive team around Reese. They are finalizing a three-year contract with forward Naz Hillmon, who had a career-best season in 2025. Additionally, Atlanta is re-signing forward Brionna Jones, a four-time All-Star, and guard Allisha Gray to a "max-plus" deal, solidifying their roster.
Reese's tenure with the Dream begins on Sunday, May 10, with an away game against the Minnesota Lynx. The team's strategic acquisitions aim to create a formidable lineup for the 2026 season.
