Atlanta Dream Introduce Angel Reese Following Major Offseason Move.

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Dream formally introduced their newest star, Angel Reese, marking one of the most significant moves of the WNBA offseason. Reese, a two-time All-Star, was acquired in a trade with the Chicago Sky last week. During her first two seasons in the league, Reese established herself as one of the WNBA’s top performers, leading the league in rebounds per game. In her rookie year, she also set a record with 15 consecutive double-doubles, highlighting her immediate impact at the professional level. Reese’s addition strengthens an already solid roster that includes Jordin Canada, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Naz Hillmon, and Brionna Jones, all of whom have re-signed with the team. Together, the group positions Atlanta as a strong contender for the WNBA Championship. The excitement surrounding Reese’s arrival has already produced significant financial gains for the organization. According to team president and chief operating officer Morgan Shaw Parker, merchandise and ticket sales surged immediately following the announcement. Within just four hours, the team sold half as many jerseys as it did during the entire 2025 season. The Dream secured Reese in a high-profile trade that included two first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028. Early indicators suggest the investment is yielding positive returns, particularly in fan engagement and revenue.

Ticket demand has risen rapidly, with sales data updating frequently as fans purchase available seats. The team also plans to host five games at State Farm Arena this season, aiming to fill the venue’s 17,000-seat capacity. Team leadership expressed confidence that all five games could sell out, reflecting the heightened enthusiasm surrounding the franchise.

Overall, Reese’s arrival signals a new era for the Atlanta Dream, both competitively and commercially.
