Angel Reese's Met Gala Look
Angel Reese tweeted before the big event, "Training camp in the morning, Met Gala at night, preseason game tomorrow. Just another day in the life of Angel Reese." The rising star is in the middle of preparing for the WNBA season. The Chicago Sky played their first preseason game last Friday against the Minnesota Lynx. Reese had 13 points on 2-of-8 shooting with nine rebounds in 24 minutes. Reese looked comfortable on a WNBA court, and Chicago Sky fans are excited about her and her fellow rookie South Carolina's Kamilla Cardoso.
Unfortunately, Cardoso suffered a shoulder injury that will keep her out for several weeks. It's an unfortunate development, but hopefully, her recovery goes well, and we will get to see her and Angel Reese on the court together. All in all, Angel Reese is looking to become a superstar on and off the court, and we are here for it.
