Angel Reese was traded from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream before the 2026 WNBA season. The exchange involved the Dream acquiring Reese and a second-round pick swap in 2028, while the Sky obtained first-round picks in 2027 and 2028. Chicago aimed to maximize Reese's value while strengthening their roster, as her performance did not lead to team victories in recent seasons. Reese is set to face her former team for the first time on June 9, 2026.
