Angel Reese Returns to Unrivaled, Lifts Rose BC Into Playoffs

She coupled on-court production with a public emphasis on teammates' mental health.

Overview

  • Reese reversed an earlier opt-out and signed on for Unrivaled’s final three games with defending champion Rose BC after persistent recruitment.
  • In two outings she delivered near double-double production, including 15 rebounds in a 70-66 win over Laces BC.
  • That victory clinched a playoff berth for Rose BC, which has one regular-season game left on February 26 against Phantom BC.
  • A semifinal would be played at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on March 2 if Rose BC advances.
  • Reese paired her return with a locker-room message telling teammates they matter and continues to broaden her profile through modeling, acting, a Reebok shoe and “mebounds” merchandise that helps fund her foundation.
