Chicago Sky rookie forward Angel Reese has secured an endorsement deal with the renowned candy brand that bears her last name.
“To the Reese’s Pieces, y’all made this happen! Shop our limited edition Angel Reese x Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection on http://TheAngelReese.com NOW! Stay tuned for 2 more drops to come. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!! @reeses #REESESPIECES #officialpartnership,” Reese shared on her X account, accompanied by a video announcing the partnership.
Previously, Reese had expressed her desire to collaborate with Reese’s, noting her exclusion from the candy brand’s NIL deals with NCAA athletes who shared her last name in 2022, as well as in previous years.
“I’ve been trying to get this deal for 4 YEARS! Without an agency, all I have is a FIRE INDEPENDENT MANAGER/AGENT that always stood on business about me since day one! I appreciate the fan support but @JeanineJuliano DID THIS! anyway we MOVE! HAPPY REESE’S PIECES DAYYY,” Reese expressed on her X account.
Reese, the No. 7 overall pick for the Sky, recently set the WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles with 15 in the past month. She has achieved a double-double in four consecutive regular season games, including the WNBA All-Star Game where she and No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever were the only rookies selected. Additionally, the former LSU standout has announced her decision to join the new 3×3 professional women’s basketball league, Unrivaled, founded by Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier and reigning WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty. This league will offer WNBA players the opportunity to play for compensation during the offseason without the need to travel overseas.
