The frenzy surrounding Reese’s jersey underscores the transition of collegiate stars to the professional arena and the fervent loyalty of their fanbases.

Angel Reese knowns she must earn her place with Chicago Sky
However, amidst the jubilation, Reese remains grounded, acknowledging the fierce competition awaiting her in the WNBA.
In a recent news conference, she candidly addressed the uncertainty of her roster spot, emphasizing the need to earn her place on the team.
With only 144 roster spots available across the league, Reese understands the challenges ahead and the necessity of proving herself during preseason training camp.
“I don’t want to go into the league thinking that I’m automatically on the team because I’m not. Anybody can get cut any given day,”Reese remarked, highlighting the competitive landscape of professional basketball.
As Reese prepares to make her WNBA preseason debut on May 4 against the Minnesota Lynx, she does so with determination and humility.
Teaming up with former South Carolina center Kamilla Cardoso, Reese aims to contribute to the Sky’s formidable frontcourt, embracing the opportunity to learn and grow alongside her teammates.
“There’s no given spot,” Reese said, “and I don’t take this moment for granted and have it given to me. I need to go out there and earn my spot, and that’s what I’m about.”
