Ahead of the Chicago Sky’s 87-76 victory over the Dallas Wings, a game where Reese tallied 15 points and 11 boards, she was asked about joining Team Collier, which also features stars like Breanna Stewart, Allisha Gray, Nneka Ogwumike, Paige Bueckers, Courtney Williams, Skylar Diggins, Alyssa Thomas, Kelsey Plum and Rhyne Howard.

When asked about playing alongside that stacked roster, Reese replied:

“We don’t got to guard each other.

“Just happy to be with Phee. Obviously, she's a great player, and she deserves to be a captain this year. She's had a great year, but I'm excited to play with a great talent. I think we have the No. 1 crashouts on the team. We play defense. It's going to be super competitive, so watch out.”
