BATON ROUGE, La. — When the WNBA put together a preseason game between the Sky and the Brazilian national team at LSU, it was built around Angel Reese. There were other storylines, but Reese was the undisputed headliner. And she was thrilled to embrace it.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Former LSU star Angel Reese’s homecoming in the Chicago Sky’s WNBA exhibition opener was a smashing success. Reese had 15 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Sky to a rousing 89-62 victory over the Brazilian national team on Friday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
