WNBA star and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese recently donned a fashionable outfit for the WNBA draft lottery earlier last week, and got a glowing thumbs up (or a heart, in this case) from social media personality Khloe Kardashian.
Reese wore a bright pink blazer dress, which was a design that was from Good American. The brand is co-owned by Khloe Kardashian, and Reese tagged the brand handle and also Khloe herself in her post.
The Kardashian socialite took notice of the WNBA donning their piece and gave her approval and admiration for Reese by reposting her content on her personal Instagram page, with a simple yet powerful caption.
“Yesssssss,” the caption read, followed by three pink hearts.
The WNBA draft lottery determined the order of the teams that get to make their picks. Four teams participated in the lottery, each expecting to have their hands on the first pick as traditionally, the first pick often gives the team an edge in acquiring the best rookie player that they could get.
While a lot of people expected the first pick to go to the Los Angeles Sparks, the lottery ultimately ended up favoring the Dallas Wings as they get to draw the first pick for the upcoming draft season. Sparks come at a second.
With this, the Wings are now expected to take advantage of this opportunity and sign UConn Huskies Paige Bueckers, the apparent first pick for this season’s draft. Bueckers could have provided the much-needed boost for the Sparks, but instead, she may make the wing a stronger force and a team to watch out for for the next WNBA season.
It is no secret that Angel Reese is earning way more in brand deals and endorsements than she is through her WNBA salary, as with the case for most players who have popularity extending outside of the court like she does.
However, Reese recently debunked internet reports claiming that she has a net worth of $2 million, calling it “way off” the actual number. Although she did not disclose or give any number, she mentioned that what she earns gives her and her family the luxury they are enjoying.
“It’s not just a luxury for me,” Angel Reese said. “It’s a luxury for everybody around me. I’m able to soon retire my mom, I can pay off my mortgage, my family, everybody’s taken care of. One thing about me, I have a really good circle around me, and I think that’s really important.”
