"Angel has achieved many record-breaking milestones in her first two years in the WNBA and has been a competitive force for the Sky. We are thankful for her many important contributions to this league and this game, and we know she will continue to have a big impact on the court and beyond. We wish Angel all the best in her next chapter." Reese averaged 14.7 points last season and led the WNBA with 12.6 rebounds per game. "I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the Atlanta Dream organization," Reese said.
