Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream lost a hard-fought game against Caitlin Clark‘s Indiana Fever. The game went to overtime after the Fever’s surging comeback, as the Dream lost 95-91.
Reese was once again a talking point both at the start as well as at the end of the game. She started the game rather poorly, shooting 0-6 from the field, for which she bluntly rated her performance.

Towards the end of the game, Reese missed a crucial layup which would’ve won it in dying seconds. The Dream’s loss prompted a message from Enes Kanter Freedom, who has recently declared for the 2027 WNBA draft.
“Sis! Once I go No. 1 pick in the 2027 @WNBA Draft, the first player I’m dunking on is Angel Reese. She’s the Paul George of the #WNBA. Just lean into the podcast already,” he posted.
After Sophie Cunningham said that transgender athletes should not be eligible to play in women’s sports, many opposed her, and many showed support.
Enes Kanter Freedom took a different route. He announced himself to be eligible for the WNBA and declared for the draft by sending an official letter to the commissioner, Cathy Engelbert. He now hopes to become the number 1 pick next year.
