WNBA - English
Angel Reese is making waves well before the 2025 WNBA season tips off. The Chicago Sky star forward recently showcased her dramatic body transformation, sending a bold signal to opponents that she’s leveled up her game physically.
Known for her grit on the court, Reese is showing that her work ethic off it is just as relentless. The 21-year-old posted a workout clip on Instagram that captured her grinding through an intense gym session.
Drenched in sweat and dressed in blue shorts and a white tee, she powered through dumbbell bench squats in her Reebok gear. But it was her defined abs that stole the spotlight.
“You see the abs okayyyy,” Reese wrote, proudly reposting the video from her trainer.
The fitness update follows a busy offseason that saw Reese compete in the Unrivaled league, where her team went on to win the inaugural title.
Although she exited before the semifinals due to a hand injury, the Miami-based event provided valuable on-court time and mentorship from WNBA legends like Lisa Leslie, who helped Reese elevate her post moves and offensive confidence.
A new-look Reese eyes a breakout season
With the Sky banking on a breakout campaign in 2025, Reese‘s development could be the key. She’ll be joined by new teammates and a refreshed lineup eager to compete in a season that promises heightened visibility for women’s basketball.
Her improved physique is just one part of a bigger push to take on more responsibility and become a franchise cornerstone.
While Reese is gearing up for her second WNBA season, another former NCAA standout is also turning heads with her offseason evolution. Caitlin Clark has been working diligently to add muscle and endurance in anticipation of the pro game’s physical demands. With expectations sky-high, Clark is doing her part to meet them.
Reese and Clark may have been rivals in college, but their parallel development is helping to redefine what it means to be a star in women’s basketball.
Mulkey reacts to a big transfer win
As Reese turns the page from her college days, her influence at LSU remains strong. Head coach Kim Mulkey was all smiles after securing a commitment from Kate Koval, a five-star transfer from Notre Dame. The move is expected to fortify LSU’s frontcourt heading into the new NCAA season.
Last season, Koval posted 5.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game. Her arrival comes as Notre Dame deals with multiple player departures, including Emma Risch, Olivia Miles, and Kylee Watson, who all entered the transfer portal following the team’s Sweet 16 exit.
Mulkey, known for her animated courtside energy and unwavering support for her players, celebrated Koval‘s decision by reposting a meme featuring her, Reese, and former LSU teammates dancing after the 2023 national championship.
Reese helped deliver the first women’s basketball title in LSU history that year, transferring from Maryland and quickly becoming one of the sport’s most recognizable faces.
Now, with the WNBA gaining steam and stars like Reese and Clark poised to lead a new generation, women’s basketball is on the cusp of unprecedented growth. Reese‘s transformation is more than just physical-it’s a sign of the elevated standard the league is embracing.

Tom Brady Dishes Out Praise for Ray Lewis: ‘The Ultimate Competitior’
Jaylin Noel dared to do something Tom Brady would've never done in the Houston Texans' blowout victory over the Baltimore Ravens. After scoring his first career touchdown, the Texans' rookie wide receiver did Ray Lewis' squirrel dance, upsetting members of the Ravens' defense. In the latest edition of "Storytime with Tom Brady," the seven-time Super Bowl winner shared how he strayed away from doing things like that against the Ravens during his career, specifically Lewis. "I was definitely never going to get anywhere close to Ray," Brady said of the Ravens' iconic linebacker. "He was a tough man. I never was going to pick any fights with anybody out there, but I was going to instigate something and get the hell out of the way before I got my ass kicked."Brady and Lewis had a pretty fierce rivalry over their Hall of […]

Thursday Night Football: Philadelphia Eagles-New York Giants betting preview (odds, lines, best bets)
Brian Daboll’s Giants are no strangers to being home underdogs: Since hiring Daboll as head coach in 2022, the Giants have been the betting underdog in MetLife Stadium 23 times. That’s the most by any active head coach over that span. Cam Skattebo’s impact in the receiving game: The first-year running back has ample opportunity to leave his mark on this matchup amid a slew of injuries to the Giants' pass-catchers. This makes his 2.5 receptions line very attainable. Game Overview We kick off Week 6 with an NFC East showdown between the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, fresh off their first loss of the 2025 season, and a Giants team looking to build momentum behind its young core. This matchup has been lopsided in recent years, with Philadelphia dominating the rivalry. Since Brian Daboll took over as head coach in […]
