Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is representing Team USA at the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifying Tournament. The 23-year-old standout player is showcasing her skills on the international stage while also making a significant impact for the Sky. Reese had an impressive second WNBA season, averaging 14.7 points, a league-leading 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in 2025. As a two-time All-Star, she is a key player for coach Tyler Marsh's team as they aim to improve on their previous season's record.
In a recent game against Puerto Rico, Team USA dominated with a 91-48 victory at the Coliseum Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan.

Paige Bueckers led all scorers with 16 points, followed by Kelsey Plum with 12 points and Caitlin Clark with eight. With Reese's consistent performance, Team USA remains undefeated in the qualifying tournament, setting the stage for a successful campaign at the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup in Berlin this September. Reese's contributions on both ends of the court continue to be instrumental for the team's success.
Before joining Team USA, Reese showcased her skills during an impressive stint with Rose BC.
