Angel Reese is getting a new chapter to her WNBA career.

Reese was traded on Monday morning from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream, according to multiple reports.

The Sky will get first-round picks in 2027 and 2028 with the Dream getting a second-round pick swap in 2028, along with Reese.

Reese, 23, has averaged 14 points and 13 rebounds per game in her two WNBA seasons.

Reese threatened to go in a “different direction” and took digs at her teammates in September after Chicago went 10-34 last season.

“I am very vocal about what we need and what I want,” Reese told the Chicago Tribune. “I’d like to be here for my career, but if things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me. But while I am here, I’m going to try to stay open-minded about what I have here and maximize that as much as I can.”

The Dream went 30-14 last season before losing in the first round of the WNBA playoffs to the Fever.
