The Chicago Sky are making major headlines after trading star forward Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream in a deal that is already sending shockwaves through the WNBA.
According to the reports circulating on X, Taylor Rooks was the first to break the story, reporting that Chicago agreed to send Reese — along with a 2028 second-round pick swap — to Atlanta in exchange for two future first-round picks in 2027 and 2028.
It is a significant move for both franchises and an even bigger moment for Reese, who quickly became one of the most talked-about young stars in the league.
Drafted No. 7 overall out of LSU in 2024, Reese made an immediate impact in Chicago with her rebounding, toughness, energy, and larger-than-life presence. She quickly became a fan favorite and an important part of the Sky’s young core alongside Kamilla Cardoso.
Now, Reese heads to Atlanta, where she joins a Dream roster that continues to add size, talent, and star power. Her arrival gives Atlanta another strong piece in the frontcourt and adds even more attention to a team that looks ready to make noise.
For Chicago, the return suggests the franchise is focused on flexibility and future growth. Landing two first-round picks gives the Sky valuable draft capital as they continue shaping the next phase of the organization.
When a name like Angel Reese is moved, it is never just another transaction. It is the kind of move that instantly becomes one of the most talked-about stories in women’s basketball.
Chicago makes a future-focused decision. Atlanta gets a major new piece. And Angel Reese steps into a brand-new chapter.
