Angel Reese is putting good use to her offseason by staying focused on playing more basketball. Reese is busy with the Unrivaled Basketball League that will continue all the way through March. The Chicago Sky forward has already taken off to a swift start with her workouts at full pace.

The Unrivaled Basketball League took to their official X account to share a video of a few basketball stars. The video featured Reese working out alongside top defensive star of the year, Napheesa Collier and the legendary Lisa Leslie.

Angel Reese was seen taking her long-rage shots with ease and getting on with her dynamic moves. Along with these stars was Alex Bazzell, the president of the league and Collier’s husband. Bazzell was indicating Reese in the video.

The WNBA star took to her social media account to share the video posted by the Unrivaled League. Reese also captioned the video with a heart and fire emoji.

“Marathon not a sprint! Working with the best!” Reese wrote.

Reese is working out with some top-notch veterans. She’s using this opportunity to develop her game. Fans were impressed with her smooth three-pointers and are excited to see more action.

Angel Reese Opens Up On Former Head Coach’s Departure

The WNBA star appeared on her podcast “Unapologetically Angel,” where she talked about the exit of the former Chicago Sky head coach. The Chicago Sky parted ways with Teresa Weatherspoon back in September 2024.

It turns out that Reese had a strong relationship with Weatherspoon even though her stint was short-lived. Weatherspoon was the head coach for just one season, but she was a strong supporter of Reese and other players.

Skylar Diggins-Smith was a guest on Angel Reese’s show when she discussed Weatherspoon’s departure. When asked how she felt, Reese said she was heartbroken by the news and that Weatherspoon didn’t deserve to part ways.

“I was so heartbroken. She understood me. I’m big on relationships, and she knew what was best for me and the team,” Reese said.

After Weatherspoon left the Sky, Reese took to social media as she made her feelings known. She wrote that Weatherspoon was the only one that believed in her.

“She was the only person that believed in me. You were the best reason & season. You didn’t deserve this but I can’t thank you enough. I love you Tspoon,” Reese wrote.

It’s hard for players to split with their favorite coaches. However, Angel Reese has kept herself busy, and she has many more things to look forward to.
