Angel Reese will make her return to Louisiana State University on May 2 when the Chicago Sky play a preseason game against the Brazilian National Team at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
It will be Reese’s first time back at LSU since her historic stint in Baton Rouge.
“It will be amazing to return to Baton Rouge, a community that means so much to me,” Reese said in a statement. “LSU was instrumental in preparing me for the WNBA and I can’t wait to hit the court in front of both Tigers and Sky fans.”
Reese led the Tigers to a national championship in 2023, a season that saw the forward average 23 points with 15.4 rebounds per game. She also collected an NCAA record 34 double-doubles that season and earned Most Outstanding Player honors during the NCAA Tournament.
She left the program with the second-most double-doubles in team history (61) and with the third-most points in a single season in LSU history (829 in 2023).
“We are excited to host a WNBA game in May featuring the Chicago Sky and Angel Reese,” LSU coach Kim Mulkey said. “Angel played a major role in establishing our program at LSU and I know our fans are going to be excited to have her back in the PMAC. She had such a great rookie season and we can’t wait to continue to watch her thrive in the WNBA.”
