Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese recently gave fans a peek into her experience in the WNBA during an interview on the podcast "In Case You Missed It" with reporter Khristina Williams. Reese opened up about the unexpected warmth she received from league veterans. "They text me, check on me, congratulate me," she shared. "I wish I can play with you one day. I wish we drafted you.' They’ll even text me some of that stuff, too.
It’s cool to be loved in the league."
Reese admitted that she didn't expect such a warm reception. "From the outside looking in, they might think that I didn’t want that or didn’t need that or whatever the perspective could have been on the outside," she explained. Her surprise and gratitude highlighted a nurturing side of the WNBA that fans rarely see.
Reese's experience starkly contrasted with that of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, who shared a different perspective during a June interview. “Nobody gives me advice in-game. I wish,” Clark lamented. This revelation painted a picture of two rookies having vastly different interactions with league veterans.
