Angel Reese plans to compete in the Olympics?

Angel Reese is not playing in the Olympics for Team USA, but she’s travelled to Paris anyway – without her luggage.

The Chicago Sky rookie, who played in her first WNBA All-Star Game last weekend, confirmed that she had landed in the French capital on Monday despite a major travel hiccup.

‘They lost our bags said we only get ‘$100 in euros’ to shop until they find them but we made it to Paris,’ she wrote on X.

She had previously complained on Sunday night that the airport was a ‘ridiculous disaster.’

And later that night, she posted a picture of an advertisement which read: ‘Don’t let travelling to Paris bring out the parent in you.’

’cause 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢yyy it already did,’ she wrote underneath. ‘I’m exhausted.’

This season, the WNBA implemented a three-week break from play for the Olympics, and Reese’s Sky don’t play again until August 15.

Reese was not considered to be in serious contention for the USA Olympic roster, which was announced in June.

Fellow rookie Caitlin Clark was named as an alternate but was ultimately snubbed in a controversial move.

The USA women’s basketball team will begin their tournament vs. Japan in a week, before facing Belgium and Germany in the group stage as well.

First, however, the Olympic squad is in London to face Germany in a warmup game.

Reese’s Paris trip comes after an up-and-down week for her.

On Thursday night, she ruffled some feathers by choosing to skip the WNBA’s ‘orange carpet event’ ahead of the league’s All-Star Weekend.

The 22-year-old said to a disgruntled fan on X: ‘It’s ok babe. i’m minding the business that PAYS me.’

However, following a strong performance in the All-Star Game, Reese made one fan’s night as she gifted a young girl her shoes.

The girl unsurprisingly smiled from ear to ear as a nearby woman also shouted out ‘Thank you, Angel!’ several times.

Reese became the first rookie to record a double-double in WNBA All-Star Game history.
