Atlanta Dream respond to Angel Reese’s strong message

Angel Reese is amid a historic WNBA season. The Atlanta Dream star has broken several league records and has won the Player of the Week honors two straight times. She posted a strong message on Instagram, which the team reacted to.

Reese now owns the mark for most double-doubles and rebounds in a season, along with the most rebounds in a game. She is averaging 16.1 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists through 39 games, helping Atlanta to a 26-14 record. The team is tied with the Indiana Fever for fourth place, trailing the Las Vegas Aces by just one game.

Reese is in Berlin with Team USA for the FIBA World Cup. She will return to action with her Dream teammates on Sept. 17 against the Connecticut Sun. They have four games left in their regular-season schedule.
