NBA legend and Chicago Sky minority owner Dwyane Wade sat courtside during WNBA rookie Angel Reese and the Sky’s 83-75 defeat to the Connecticut Sun on June 12.
After the game, Chicago State of Mind Sports took a video of Wade speaking with Sky head coach, Teresa Weatherspoon. Then he met up with Sky rookie Angel Reese.

The X video shows Reese and Wade embracing, then having a 15-second discussion before they hug again and Reese walks away. The former LSU standout scored a WNBA career-high 20 points in the defeat. She also added 10 rebounds and 2 steals across 36 minutes played.
This brings her season averages up to 12.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game. Sky fans are hoping that the “Chi Barbie” and Wade were discussing potential roster changes during their postgame interaction.
“D. Wade please get us some new guards who are pure shooters,” one X user wrote. “She asking him to get her some real guards ,” said another.

The current guards on Chicago’s roster are Chennedy Carter, Lindsay Allen, Diamond DeShields, Dana Evans, Kysre Gondrezick, and Marina Mabrey. After the Sky’s June 12 game ended, Dwyane Wade posted an Instagram story of his five-year-old daughter, Kaavia, asking to make an Angel Reese jersey.
“Can I please, please make an Angel Reese shirt?” Zaavia said. When she was asked what she wanted her Angel Reese shirt to say, Kaavia replied with, “I love you, Angel Reese.”
The caption to the story wrote, “It’s @angelreese5 in the Wades house!” Reese then responded to Kaavia on her own Instagram story, writing, “LOVE MY GIRL
PEOPLE’s Courtney Young released an article that was updated on May 29, 2024, that wrote, “Kaavia James Wade was born on Nov. 7, 2018, via surrogate. “Before welcoming their daughter, Union revealed that she had struggled for years with infertility and failed IVF treatments in her memoir We’re Going to Need More Wine.”
Young wrote that, “She added that through it all, she and Wade remained “bursting with love and ready to do anything to meet the child we’ve both dreamed of.”
