Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are welcoming two new faces to the roster for the second half of the 2024 WNBA season.
The Sky acquired Rachel Banham, Moriah Jefferson, a 2025 first-round pick, and the right to a 2026 first-round pick swap from the Connecticut Sun for Maria Mabrey and a 2025 second-round pick just before the league-mandated break.
Reese recently spoke on those additions to the team, sharing some conversations she’s had with these WNBA veterans. T
The first-year star mentioned that Banham and Jefferson have both explained to her that she’s gotten “lucky” with the treatment she’s receiving as a rookie since they didn’t have that privilege a couple of years ago.
“I’m excited for both of them,” Reese said. “They give me a lot of insight of things that they had. Not just on the court but off the court. They tell me about different programs that they’ve been in. How rookies have been treated, and they always ask me, ‘How are you being treated?’ and they said I got lucky because I luckily have great vets here.”
