Angel Reese also contributed 13 points during her preseason debut. Reese would now be looking forward to her regular season debut against the Dallas Wings. She would most likely be playing that game since the Wings have a lot of players on the injury list. Recently, another rookie, Kamilla Cardoso, was on the injury list, leaving the franchise’s fans concerned.

But Angel Reese will try her best to ensure that it doesn’t hinder her team’s plans. Hopefully, her faith will help her cover the distance and come out on top once again.
