Angel Reese Joins Brisbane Bullets Ownership to Back WNBL Expansion Bid

Her stake is intended to bolster Brisbane's bid for a WNBL expansion slot in 2026–27.

Overview

  • The NBL club announced Wednesday that the Chicago Sky forward is joining its ownership group, with CEO Malcolm Watts calling her a globally recognized ambassador for the sport.
  • The Bullets said her investment will support their push to secure the WNBL's 10th franchise, with the league reportedly eyeing one additional team before the 2026–27 season.
  • Brisbane has reportedly added long-time NBA assistant Will Weaver to the organization as it strengthens its case for a women's team.
  • Reese’s ownership move follows the February launch of her Angel Reese 1 with Reebok and reporting of a new Reebok–WNBL partnership that links her brand to Australian basketball.
  • The 23-year-old, already an investor in DC Power Football Club, is playing in the Unrivaled offseason league and has advocated for higher WNBA pay, saying a 2026 sit-out is possible if demands go unmet.
