When it comes to Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky always go all-out. That much is clear with the team's latest move for their game against the Golden State Valkyries on Friday.

Reese remains out for the Sky as she continues to recover from a back injury. Head coach Tyler Marsh did say she's progressing, but she has yet to return to practice. That being said, there's still no timetable for her return.

Despite her absence, though, the Sky continue to honor and promote her in any way they can.

Chicago Sky Make Angel Reese Move

Ahead of their game against the Valkyries, the Sky hosted another giveaway involving Reese.

Those attending the game at Wintrust Arena were all surprised with Reese-themed Reebok shirts. The t-shirt has Reese's name and logo, along with a photo of her hands lifting a pink Reebok ball.

The giveaway came after the reveal of Reese's upcoming "Diamond Dust" shoes, set to be released on September 18.

Sky reporter Karli Bell highlighted the giveaway, writing: "The Chicago Sky have another giveaway tonight with these shirts on all seats at Wintrust Arena."

For what it's worth, it's not the first time the Sky have done a giveaway for Reese. When the two-time All-Star was revealed to be the cover athlete of the WNBA edition of NBA 2K26, the team also gave away t-shirts to fans attending a game.

How Is Reese Doing Amid Her Back Injury?

While Reese is sidelined, she's keeping herself busy with several off-court commitments. Aside from promoting her new shoes, she's also giving back to the community.

In fact, on Saturday, Reese is set to make a public appearance at Intentional Sports in Chicago for her Back-to-School Bash. Not only will she be "giving 1,000 students FREE backpacks" and school supplies at the event, but she will also conduct a special community chat and meet-and-greet for her fans.
