Angel Reese will be part of new basketball league in 2025

The Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is living her best life. The 6’3 forward went from seventh overall pick to rookie All-Star. She is having a historic rebounding season and helping bring new popularity to the W. Reese is focused on winning games and figures to be even better after the Olympic break.

The 22-year-old wanted to be on the USA Olympic team in 2024 but was not selected. It has not stopped her from heading to Europe to support the squad and make her intentions clear. Expect Reese to play a key role in 2028 as she enters her prime.

Angel Reese joins Unrivaled Basketball for the inaugural season

Reese becomes the tenth player to join the new women’s basketball league. Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Chelsea Gray, Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Rhyne Howard, Kahleah Copper, and Jackie Young are in the 3-on-3 league. Stewart and Collier co-founded Unrivaled Basektball, which is expected to start in January 2025.

There will be 30 players and the league separates itself by paying more and playing on a smaller court. The games will be shorter and should bring plenty of excitement.

Unrivaled plans to have eight weeks in its opening season. There will be six teams with a round-robin schedule. That will be followed by the top four squads making the playoffs.

Angel Reese figures to bring even more eyeballs to the league. They plan on having plenty of star power in their opening season and fans will certainly be interested in seeing their favorite talents in the 3-on-3 format. Reese may be even more dominant on the smaller court.

The Bayou Barbie shared her excitement on social media after the announcement.

The WNBA season is on pause until mid-August for the Olympics. Angel Reese will come back better than ever when play resumes.

Can she lift the Chicago Sky to the playoffs as a rookie? It won’t be easy, but fans will be fascinating to watch. Angel is all about winning, so doubt her at your own risk.
