Angel Reese informed her teammates about her Met Gala hosting

The new season for the WNBA is set to start later this month. Preseason games have started for most teams, including the Sky, as they are scheduled to play an exhibition game against the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday.

Despite the busy schedule for the upcoming season, Reese fulfilled her duty with the hosting gig for the Met Gala. According to Chicago's head coach, Tyler Marsh, the forward talked to her teammates about her hosting job at the prestigious event.

“I think she’s handled it great. She puts in a ton of work in the offseason and during the season – extra work. She communicated to her teammates that she would be there and as an organization we’re supportive of everyone on and off the court,” Marsh said.

Marsh believes highlighting the off-court personalities and projects of all their players is important. The new coach said it's good for the league as he thinks putting the spotlight on and off the court will help the players and the association's popularity.

According to reports, Reese attended practice on Sunday before traveling to New York for the event.
