In two seasons with the Sky, Reese appeared in 64 games. She averaged 14.1 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Reese earned All-Rookie Team honors in 2024 and made the All-Star team in back-to-back seasons. The LSU product also led the league in rebounding both years.

Away from the court, Reese has built one of the most powerful brands in women’s sports. This includes a partnership with Victoria’s Secret as the face of the Bombshell Bronze Eau de Parfum collection.

The Baltimore native shows the same appreciation for the communities that support her.

Before the 2026 WNBA season tips off, Reese made sure to reconnect with her roots.

The Baltimore native returned home to launch the MeBound STEM Leadership Initiative. Reese partnered with 2K Foundations, the philanthropic arm of video game company 2K, along with nonprofit organizations Living Classrooms Foundation and Project Scientist.

The six-week program serves female student-athletes at Crossroads Middle School. Per the official website, students gain hands-on experience in coding, robotics, 3D printing, career exploration and leadership development.
