Chicago Sky have traded two-time All-Star Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for two first-round picks with the Sky getting a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 first-round pick from the Dream and a second-round pick swap in 2028.

As a result of the trade, the Sky have five first-round picks in the next three seasons. They hold first-round picks in 2026 (No. 5 overall, via Connecticut), 2027 (own, Washington holds swap rights; via Atlanta), and 2028 (own, via Atlanta).

This deal offers Sky roster balance and represents a great opportunity for all parties.

Since being drafted No. 7 overall in 2024 by the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese has developed into one of the league’s most productive forwards, averaging 14.1 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 64 games, alongside two All-Star nods.

“Angel has achieved many record-breaking milestones in her first two years in the WNBA and has been a competitive force for the Sky,” General Manager Jeff Pagliocca said.

“We are thankful for her many important contributions to this league and this game, and we know she will continue to have a big impact on the court and beyond. We wish Angel all the best in her next chapter.”
