Angel Reese recently took to social media, sharing a few photos and videos of her time in New York City during the WNBA offseason.
Reese posted one video in particular that had fans buzzing online. While in New York, Reese spent time with former Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon.
Weatherspoon coached one season with the Sky, 2024, and was fired after Chicago failed to make the postseason.

While posting a video of Weatherspoon, Reese added, “She said she run New York,” with laughing emojis.
She also posted a reaction to a photo of herself and Weatherspoon in New York with the blushing and heart emoji.
While some fans were simply excited to see the interaction, others were saddened that Reese and Weatherspoon were no longer able to showcase their connection in the WNBA.
“I love her, I love you, I love this,” said one fan with the crying and heart eyes emojis.
“This is so Wholesome,” said another fan with teary eyed emojis.

In Weatherspoon’s first and only season with the Sky, Reese was seen as the leader of the team as a rookie. The 22-year-old was Chicago’s best two-way player, and finished the year posting 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game.
Under Weatherspoon’s mentorship, Reese was named a WNBA All-Star and ended the season at No. 2 in WNBA Rookie of the Year voting, behind Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.
