Angel Reese Heads to All‑Star Weekend After Viral Photoshoot as Knee Issue Clouds Participation

A knee concern could keep Reese out of All‑Star events and shorten her time on the court during the Dream’s crucial stretch.

Overview

  • Reese earned her third WNBA All‑Star selection and will suit up for Team Coop at All‑Star Weekend in Chicago.
  • An apparent knee injury suffered in the Dream’s game against the Chicago Sky on Sunday has left her availability for All‑Star events uncertain.
  • She posted a viral pre‑All‑Star photoshoot, including gold swimsuit and poolside images, that drew wide reactions from athletes and celebrities.
  • Reese publicly rallied behind teammate Rhyne Howard for the 3‑Point Contest by requesting a custom Howard T‑shirt and sign to bring to the arena.
  • On the court this season Reese has averaged roughly a double‑double and helped Atlanta sit near the top of the Eastern Conference, while off‑court moves such as a newly announced Angel Reese Barbie show her expanding commercial reach and raise questions about how the team will handle her short‑term recovery.
