Earlier this week, Chicago Sky star and former LSU standout Angel Reese was named the WNBA edition cover athlete for the upcoming video game NBA 2K26. Now, the franchise is supporting one of the league’s brightest young players.

The Sky set up t-shirts featuring Reese’s cover on seats for every fan attending Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Lynx. Check out the photo below, which shows the free giveaway for loyal Chicago fans, as it’s a pretty sweet deal. The WNBA shared it to X.

Last season, it was A’ja Wilson who was the cover athlete for the women’s version of the popular game. Now, Reese is getting the nod, as her star continues to burn bright for the WNBA.

She’s is in the middle of her second season in Chicago after being selected No. 7 overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Reese was named to last year’s All-Rookie team and is already a two-time WNBA All-Star.

Additionally, Reese was last year’s rebounding leader league-wide, along with being an NCAA champion during the 2023 season with the Tigers. Now, she can add cover athlete to her resume, as fans enjoy a free t-shirt for her efforts.

Meanwhile, Angel Reese found herself at the center of some drama between Ryan Clark and Robert Griffin III after her cover was revealed. Fans were attacking Reese for being on the cover, and after previously defending her, Griffin III turned it into some drama centered around Caitlin Clark.

The former Heisman Trophy winner claimed people in Reese’s inner-circle talked to him about her relationship with her WNBA peer, which ticked off the Sky star: “People in Angel’s inner circle called me and told me I was right and Angel Reese has grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her,” Griffin III wrote.

Reese saw the post later in the morning, and decided to go after Griffin III: “Lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work,” Reese wrote. It’s clear Reese doesn’t believe that Griffin spoke to anyone close to her about her peer in the Indiana Fever star.

That prompted the aforementioned Ryan Clark to take aim at Griffin III. He claimed the former pro quarterback was a liar and that he should just admit his mistake and move on from the situation: “Desperation will force you to make things up!” the former NFL defensive back wrote. “It’s ok to take the L & move on some times. Lying just makes it worse.”

Alas, this is par for the course, as Ryan Clark has been a staunch defender of Reese throughout her rise to fame. In defending her and getting a shot off at someone he’s had issues with in the past in Griffin III, he killed two birds with one stone.
