This year, Angel Reese surprised her fans, and not just on the court.
The Chicago Sky star finished her second year in the league as the WNBA’s leading rebounder despite not qualifying for the playoffs. However, her personal projects also stole the spotlight, and not just from her loyal fans.
Angel receives praise from her rivals
“A House of Dynamite,” which premiered in theaters on October 10 and has been available on Netflix since October 24, featured a brief but powerful appearance by the two-time All-Star.
Her character appears when one of the government officials is taken out of the stadium where Reese was teaching basketball to boys and girls.
Angel can now claim to be not only a WNBA star, model, entrepreneur, podcast host, and influencer, but also an actress. “I want to get an acting coach,” she confessed to People at the film’s premiere during the New York Film Festival, opening the door to a professional acting career.
This appearance not only marked her debut on the big screen, but also earned her the respect and admiration of one of her Indiana Fever rivals.
The 31-year-old point guard and teammate of Caitlink Clark, Aerial Powers, praised Angel and commented on the Ballislife Women’s Basketball post about Reese’s new achievement. “So tuff!!” Aerial wrote in an Instagram comment alongside two fire emojis.
Powers joined the Fever alongside other players such as Odyssey Sims and Shey Peddy to alleviate the six injuries that plagued Indiana: Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Damiris Dantas, Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald, and Chloe Bibby.
Meanwhile, as a free agent, her place on the team is a big question mark. The only players who have contracts for next year are Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Makayla Timpson. Powers played in eight games, averaging 9.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.
Meanwhile, Angel ended her second year with Sky averaging 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, although her future in Chicago could be altered due to the controversy that arose after she openly and publicly criticized the team’s roster. Sky finished with a 10-34 record and missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
