Following Sunday’s win over the LA Sparks, Angel Reese met a special fan. The Chicago Sky star ran into Kyrie Irving and his daughter Azurie in the Crypto.Com Arena tunnel.
Irving greeted Reese as she was running to the locker room. The rookie stopped, hugged Azurie and then did the same with the 2016 NBA champion.
After exchanging a couple of words, she said bye and walked to the locker room. Irving dapped up a Sky staffer who was with Reese before saying ‘Hi’ to the rest of the team.
Chennedy Carter, Lindsay Allen and Isabelle Harrison, as well as Sky staffers, paid respect to Irving while greeting his daughter.
