Reese, now a two-time WNBA All-Star, had an eventful 2025 season with the Sky. She averaged an excellent individual line of 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. But Chicago finished tied for the worst record in the league at 10-34, and Reese was also causing some major internal drama by the end of the year.
Now with the 2026 WNBA season looking uncertain at best thanks to a stalemate in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement, Reese is making sure to keep busy from a marketing standpoint. A few months ago, the former LSU national champion also made history by walking in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
On top of that, Reese has continued to be proactive when it comes to filing for trademarks. Now she can add a Hollywood acting role to her growing personal portfolio as well.
