Reese’s return comes as Rose BC aims to improve its position in the tournament standings during the final stretch of the regular season.
The team, currently positioned fifth with a 5-6 record, still has three games left before the playoffs. Reese, who was absent at the tournament’s start, rejoining now is seen as a crucial boost for the franchise’s playoff hopes.
Reese’s Impact and Previous Season Highlights

She participated in 14 games, dominating inside the paint and securing rebounds with impressive consistency.

Her standout game occurred on February 21, 2025, against the Lunar Owls, when she recorded an unprecedented double-double with 22 points and 21 rebounds, along with assists, steals, and blocks in only 23 minutes. Reese’s strong all-around play earned her the Defensive Player of the Year award, highlighting her as one of the league’s top athletes.
The Chicago Sky forward finished last season averaging 13.3 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game, shooting 46.9% from the field, and accumulating eight double-doubles in total.
