Angel Reese featured Aalyah Del Rosario in her recent McDonald's commercial

Earlier this year, Reese featured former LSU teammate Aalyah Del Rosario in a McDonald's commercial for her "Angel Reese Special" meal offering. The video ad was aired during Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9.

The commercial also included WNBA legend Lisa Leslie and veteran Breanna Stewart. It showed the close friendship between Aalyah and Reese, despite the latter being a senior to the former during their time in college.

Meanwhile, the commercial also marked the first-ever national collaboration with a female athlete for McDonald's, highlighting Reese's growing brand. As the 2025 season gets ever closer, the Chicago Sky star will look to further build her brand on and off the court.
