A’ja Wilson has served as a mentor for rookie Angel Reese, who is enjoying a run of scintillating form as her Chicago Sky prepare to take on the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA regular season
Two-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson heaped praise on Angel Reese as the Chicago Sky rookie continues to impress. On Sunday, Reese played rival Caitlin Clark for the third time in their young WNBA careers and put on a show.
Reese enjoying her finest performance of the season, and the Sky secured an 88-87 win over Clark’s Indiana Fever. The 22-year-old helped orchestrate a comeback from a 15-point deficit, scoring 10 of her 25 points in the fourth quarter to help clinch victory.
Wilson, the player Reese grew up idolizing, approved. On Sunday, Angel Reese had the best performance of her young WNBA career when the Chicago Sky defeated the Indiana Fever by a final score of 88-87.
This win marked Reese’s first win over Caitlin Clark since the two met in the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship between the LSU Tigers and the lowa Hawkeyes.
Reese recorded her eighth-straight double-double in the win, which is a WNBA rookie record and the fourth-most ever by any player. She tallied 25 points, a career-high, and 16 rebounds.
On Monday, just one day after the Reese vs. Clark clash, Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson spoke with the media about Reese and gave an honest review.

“It’s huge. I feel like I said it around the Super Bowl. I was just like that is going to be Angel’s biggest thing: translation.’ Translating over from college to the pros is just rebounding the basketball. She has a knack for it and that’s not what a lot of people have. So, it’s pretty cool to kind of see her flourish in that situation and flourish in life,” Wilson said.
Reese is averaging 11.1 rebounds per game, the second-most in the WNBA, behind Wilson, who is averaging 11.6.
Wilson continued, “I know there’s a lot that could be on her. A lot that could be around her, but she still still comes in and is consistent for her team. So that’s huge. You don’t see that in a lot of rookies. I’m grateful that she’s doing that in her own journey and in her own way.” (via Fox5 Vegas reporter Paloma Villicana)
