Angel Reese Announcement Turns Heads on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Angel Reese is enjoying a standout sophomore WNBA campaign, fresh off her second consecutive All-Star selection. The Chicago Sky forward is averaging 14.0 points, a league-leading 12.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists through 21 games. Selected 7th overall by Chicago in the 2024 WNBA Draft, her numbers this season mark a clear leap from her record-setting rookie campaign and have solidified her place among the league’s brightest young stars.
While Reese continues to set records and earn praise for her dominance on the boards and improved play this year, she recently scored another major milestone—one that honors her early beginnings.
On Tuesday, Reese was officially inducted into the SLAM Summer Classic Hall of Fame. SLAM, a prominent basketball media outlet known for spotlighting rising and established talent across the sport, made the announcement on Instagram:
“The whole world knows her name now, but we first saw Angel Reese blocking shots, devouring rebounds and finishing tuffff layups at the SLAM Summer Classic, long before the spotlight found her. Can confirm she’s always been true to herself. Angel is officially inducted into the SLAM Summer Classic Hall of Fame presented by @nba2k.”
