Angel Lease’s initial post following Monday’s announcement of the WNBA All-Star selections was first published by Athlon Sports.
After a challenging start to the WNBA season, Angel Reese has regained her standout form that earned her All-Star status in her rookie professional year. During the initial 10 games of the 2025 season, Reese posted averages of 10.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting 35.4%. However, in the Chicago Sky’s last six matchups, she elevated her performance to 14.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
In a recent game against the Los Angeles Sparks, Reese delivered a stellar performance with 24 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists. She also climbed into the top 10 on Chicago Sky’s all-time rebound list and set a new record for most consecutive 15-rebound games. Unfortunately, despite her impressive showing, the 23-year-old did not secure a starting spot for the 2025 All-Star Game.
Nevertheless, missing the All-Star starter role doesn’t seem to have dampened Reese’s spirit. Minutes after the starters were announced, she posted three photos on Instagram taken during her pre-game arrival with the Golden State Valkyries, dressed in a black leather trench coat with a sleek design, captioning the post “The Matrix.”
Fans quickly responded to Reese’s post with enthusiasm. Sports reporter Taylor Lukes simply commented, “Absolutely,” while other fans praised her style and presence, with one saying, “That’s a girl!” and another adding, “This fit is the next level.”
Reese still holds a strong chance to be named as a reserve for the All-Star Game, with WNBA coaches responsible for those selections. The full roster will be revealed on Sunday.
Fan Take: This news is vital for WNBA fans as it highlights Angel Reese’s resilience and rising dominance in the league despite setbacks. Her journey and style not only inspire young athletes but also help elevate visibility and excitement for women’s basketball.
