Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has been impressive for Team USA in its run at the FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifying Tournament. Through four games, she leads the team in rebounds with 32 and is fifth in plus-minus rating at +93.
Reese has started in one game so far and has recorded one double-double, posting 10 points and 13 rebounds against Puerto Rico in the team’s second game of the competition.

On Monday, Reese reflected on the WNBA offseason she has had so far. Ever since the Sky’s 2025 season ended in September, the 23-year-old has kept herself busy with several commitments and trips outside the U.S.

Reese revealed in a post on her Instagram Stories that she has already taken eight trips to various places in the last seven months, making her offseason truly special. Of course, that included her trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for the World Cup qualifiers.
“I’ve literally had the best offseason EVER,” Reese wrote while sharing the eight places she has visited this WNBA offseason. The Sky star has been to Barbados, Berlin, London, Belize, Sydney, Melbourne, Saint Martin and Puerto Rico.
“I’ve been to all these places in the last 7 months. So grateful & thankful.”

Team USA will play Spain on Tuesday in its final game of the qualifiers. After that, it will be interesting to see what Reese and the rest of the team do next.
Reese will still have some time before the 2026 WNBA season kicks off — if it starts as scheduled amid ongoing CBA negotiations — so she should have plenty more opportunities to travel and get some rest before getting back to work.
