The Chicago Sky’s preseason opener in Baton Rouge, La., will offer a rare return to the past for three of their youngest stars.

The organization named Reese to the 2025 Gala Host Committee in February alongside a slate of Black leaders in the arts, fashion, sports, music and film industries. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is an honorary chair of the committee, which is led by Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour.

On Friday, Reese scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a performance reminiscent of the many she played at LSU. Early in the second quarter, she pulled down a board, started a transition chance herself, looked up court and slung a one-handed pass over three defenders and down to Sky guard Rachel Banham, who banked in an open layup.
