Angel Reese continues to work to improve her 5-11 record with the Chicago Sky, even though her incredible individual numbers are not reflected in the team’s performance.
The truth is that with approximately half of the regular season ahead, Chicago has shown that it can put up a fight. However, they are currently in fifth place in the WNBA Eastern Conference and number 10 in the WNBA standings. For this reason, they will need another important victory on Sunday against the Minnesota Lynx to continue climbing.
Despite this, the Reese family is celebrating: Julian, her brother, will take his first steps in the NBA after four years with the Maryland Terrapins. And he will do so with none other than the Los Angeles Lakers.
Angel shows her support for “Juju”
After not being selected in the draft, Julian is part of the team’s Summer League roster that will compete in the exhibition tournament in July.
They will kick off the California Classicat Chase Center against the Golden State Warriors on July 5 and the Miami Heat on July 6. They will finish on July 8 against the San Antonio Spurs.
They will then travel to Las Vegas for the NBA 2K26 Summer League and face the Dallas Mavericks on July 10 at the Thomas & Mack Center on opening day.
The Lakers shared the final roster with his name included on their social media, and his sister was there to cheer him on.
Showing her support, Angel shared the post mentioning her brother on her Instagram stories. Although she simply circled his name in red, her words spoke volumes about how proud she is of him.
Like his sister, Julian stood out as one of the best rebounders in the Big Ten and made history at the university by becoming the second player to score at least 1,000 points (1,488) and grab 1,000 rebounds (1,015).
With 9.0 rebounds per game last season, in addition to 13.3 points and 1.3 assists, “Juju” is starting his NBA career without a guaranteed contract, but his performance in the 2025 Summer League will be key in determining his future.
