Angel Reese has announced her departure from Chicago to establish Miami as her new home, a decision that has sparked considerable speculation about her future. Reese will debut in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled League this January.
Despite an injury-shortened first WNBA season, Reese’s performance was historic. She led the league with an average of 13.1 rebounds per game—the highest in WNBA history—and broke multiple records for rookies and veterans. Reese was a strong Rookie of the Year contender, rivalled only by Caitlin Clark’s standout season.
Good food spots in Miami? *Downtown or Delivery*

With no WNBA team in Miami and no plans for expansion, it seems Reese is preparing for the Unrivaled League a new 3v3 women’s basketball competition. This league, featuring six teams and six players each, will run from January 17 through March 17, with all games hosted in Miami.
I’m a girls girl. In the clurbbbb, we ALL FAM! Congrats to New York Liberty!! This year of women’s basketball was legendary & I’m so glad to be apart of it! Come out & support us again in January in Miami for the @Unrivaledwbb league!! All of your faves together in the yamssss🤪

Regardless, Reese is likely enjoying Miami’s warmth before returning to train with the Chicago Sky, who recently appointed Tyler Marsh as head coach. A former with the Las Vegas Aces and 3-time MVP A’Ja Wilson, Marsh is expected to build the team around Reese and Kamilla Cardoso.
If you’re in Miami, watch for Reese, who may be seen enjoying the city. Looking ahead to next year, Reese could potentially make history as the first player to secure 500 rebounds in a season, having already snatched 446 boards last season, surpassing Sylvia Fowles’ record of 404 rebounds. Despite her injury, Reese’s potential remains immense.
