Angel Reese had an unhinged quote after DeWanna Bonner’s Dream debut

Angel Reese was hyped by the debut of her new Atlanta Dream teammate and WNBA veteran DeWanna Bonner.

That excitement spilled over following the Dream’s 89-81 win over the league-leading Minnesota Lynx on Sunday at Gateway Center in College Park, Ga.

When asked in a postgame interview for her thoughts on Bonner’s Dream debut, Reese snuck in a wild way to describe the feeling.

“Her energy. I told her her first shot was going to hit like crack,” Reese said. “And it felt really good when she hit that [3-pointer] that I passed to her. It felt really good. So I’m really happy to have her.

She’s a great vet. And I’m super excited to when I get back to be with her more, in four more games to the playoffs.”

The 39-year-old Bonner started the 2026 WNBA season with the Phoenix Mercury. With Phoenix eliminated from playoff contention, Bonner and the Mercury agreed on a contract buyout to allow her to sign with a title contender. She later signed with the Dream, who have already secured a ticket to the postseason and are among those in the running to have home-court advantage in the first round.

Bonner immediately turned heads in Atlanta in her Dream debut, scoring seven points on 3/5 shooting with four rebounds, two assists and a steal in just 17 minutes of action off the bench against the Lynx.

As for Reese, she had another double-double, putting up 15 points and grabbing 11 boards, as Atlanta improved to 31-9.
