They will be paying close attention to events in Paris
Chicago Sky star Angel Reese was present in London for the US Women’s Basketball exhibition match and she was rubbing shoulders with some huge names from the NBA.
Reese was sat in between the Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry as she watched the USA beat Germany, 84-57, in their final exhibition game before stepping onto the Olympic stage.

The star of the show on the court was the Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson who posted a double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds, while Olympic veteran Breanna Stewart of the Liberty contributed 15 points, six rebounds and five assists.
“We need to continue to make sure our starts in the third get better every single game,” said U.S. forward Stewart. “It’s a tune-up game. We don’t want to peak too soon.”
It was thankfully a much smoother night for Reese than the WNBA All-Star game where she had a distressing incident with a fan.
In a scene that’s now gone viral on X, a fan was forcibly removed by security after attempting to breach the player tunnel to get closer to Reese.
The video, which garnered over 1 million views within just seven hours, captured the fan screaming at Reese while being escorted out. Reese makes a brief appearance in the footage, looking visibly concerned but composed.
The video’s caption, allegedly penned by the fan, revealed she had spent a staggering $1,200 on tickets for the All-Star Game, even admitting it was her children’s school money. The revelation has sparked a mix of sympathy and criticism online, with many applauding the security team for their swift intervention.
