Reese is contributing 14.0 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists for the Sky and has recorded 15 double-doubles in 21 appearances this season. Her rebound average is the best in the WNBA, and her points and assists are career-bests through two seasons.
Last week, Reese was drafted by Napheesa Collier’s All-Star team, meaning she will suit up alongside Collier and other prominent WNBA players like Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Plum and Skylar Diggins.

Before the contest tipped off on Saturday evening, Sky reporter Karli Bell asked Reese about playing with Bueckers in the All-Star Game. Reese spoke candidly about her temporary teammate.
“I’ve known Paige for a long time. We were the No. 1 and No. 2 players in our [high school] class, so we’ve had a relationship for a really long time,” Reese said. “It’s good to finally be able to play together instead of playing against each other.”
Bueckers is averaging 18.4 points, 5.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game for the 6-17 Wings.
