Angel Reese is making waves ahead of her return to the WNBA, delivering another stellar performance for Rose Basketball Club in Unrivaled and sending a strong message to the league’s top players.
Reese powered Rose to a 71-59 victory over Sabrina Ionescu’s Phantom Basketball Club on Monday, boosting her team’s position to second place in the league.
The Chicago Sky star recorded 23 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists, proving instrumental in her team’s triumph. Chelsea Gray and Lexie Hill also contributed with 26 and 13 points, respectively.
This latest win marks a remarkable turnaround for Rose, which struggled at the start of the season, winning just one of its first five games in the 3-on-3 league.
Now, with a five-game winning streak, they are serious contenders for next month’s semifinals. Reese has been a driving force behind the resurgence, racking up 73 points over her last four outings and solidifying her reputation as one of the game’s fiercest competitors.
Following Monday’s victory, Reese addressed her dominant form and made it clear she’s putting in the work ahead of her WNBA return.
“I’m just trying to get better every single day,” she said. “First one in the gym, last one to leave the gym. I just want to put in the work every day because I don’t ever want to feel like I’m out of work. The work gonna show, and I’m excited to get back to Chicago. Go Sky!”
Reese’s return to the Chicago Sky in 2025 comes after an electrifying rookie season that saw her earn WNBA All-Star honors, a spot on the All-Rookie Team, and the league’s rebounding title in 2024.
With her relentless work ethic and growing confidence, she is poised to be a key force in Chicago’s push for WNBA dominance.
