​For the third time in as many years, Angel Reese, the former LSU standout, has earned a spot in the WNBA All-Star Game, securing a reserve berth on the 2026 roster as voted by the league’s coaches. Reese has now earned All-Star selections in each of her three professional seasons, with her first two appearances coming during her tenure with the Chicago Sky and this year’s nod coming with the Atlanta Dream, who acquired her in a trade ahead of the 2026 season.
Since stepping into the WNBA, Reese has established herself as one of the premier rebounders in league history, a trend that has continued with her arrival in Atlanta. She currently leads the league in rebounds per game, averaging 11.8 boards, and in June set a new mark as the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds. Reese hit the milestone in 79 games, surpassing the previous record held by Tina Charles by 10 games.
In addition to her rebounding prowess, Reese has been a consistent double-double threat, tallying 14.9 points per game to go with her 11.8 rebounds per game for the Dream. Through the first portion of the season, Atlanta sits at 12-9, placing them seventh in the WNBA standings, a testament to Reese’s impact on both ends of the floor and her ability to elevate the team around her.
Looking ahead to the All-Star Game, fans can mark their calendars for Saturday, July 25, with tip-off scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The event will be broadcast on ABC and will take place in Chicago, a city with its own special connection to Reese, who was drafted seventh overall by the Sky in the 2024 NBA Draft era and has since forged a path that highlights her relentless drive, athleticism, and leadership.
This season’s All-Star appearance broadens Reese’s growing resume as one of the game’s most influential players, underscoring both her historic rebound numbers and her continued ability to contribute across the stat sheet. As she continues to play a pivotal role for the Dream, fans and analysts alike will be watching to see how her performance translates to team success as the WNBA season unfolds.
