The WNBA’s historic season is currently on pause since July 17th, as many of its stars pursue Olympic gold in Paris. With the women’s basketball competition concluding on August 11th, the WNBA will resume action on Thursday, August 15th, with teams gearing up for the final push toward the playoffs. Each team has approximately 15 games left to secure one of the eight coveted playoff spots.

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese, who is in a tight race with Caitlin Clark for the Rookie of the Year award, has been capturing attention off the court during the Olympic hiatus. Known as the “Bayou Barbie” during her college days, Reese has rebranded herself as the “Chi-Town Barbie” since joining the Sky. She recently shared her vacation in Turks and Caicos, an island near Cuba and Dominican Republic, on Instagram, sporting a white Chanel bikini while cruising on a hot pink Onyx Charters JetCar, which closely resembles the iconic Barbie car.
