Angel Reese Signs Mid-Season Deal to Rejoin Unrivaled Now

BREAKING: Angel Reese is officially rejoining the Unrivaled 3×3 league with a mid-season deal announced this morning. The star player of the Chicago Sky will return to her former team, Rose BC, starting February 20, 2026. This move comes as Unrivaled aims to boost excitement ahead of the playoffs beginning on February 28.

Reese’s return follows her intriguing comments on her podcast, “Unapologetically Angel,” where she hinted at a possible comeback. During the show, she shared her desire to return, stating, “Maybe you might see me, maybe you might not.” Now, with the announcement confirmed, fans are buzzing about what her presence could mean for the struggling Rose BC, currently sitting at 5-6 and in fifth place out of eight teams.

This addition is crucial as the top six teams will qualify for the playoffs, and Reese’s return could provide the spark Rose BC needs to secure a position in the postseason. Returning players Chelsea Gray and Kahleah Copper have been leading the scoring efforts, but Reese’s talent is expected to elevate the team’s performance.

Unrivaled is riding a wave of momentum after recently breaking attendance records for women’s pro basketball during a tour stop in Philadelphia. However, despite this achievement, TV ratings have not reflected the excitement. The league’s coach, Teresa Weatherspoon, emphasized the importance of entertaining fans, stating, “You entertain people, that’s why they get their butts in the seats to come and watch you.” With star players like Sabrina Ionescu and Napheesa Collier sidelined due to injuries, Reese’s arrival could rekindle fan interest and enhance the league’s profile.

This offseason, Reese has been busy with various projects, including podcasting, fashion endeavors, and her recent role in the Netflix series “The Hunting Wives.” She also attended a Team USA training camp in December as the team prepares for the 2026 FIBA World Cup. Still, she expressed a strong desire to return to Unrivaled, stating on her podcast, “I miss the development… I can try stuff, I can do whatever, and I can take it and implement it to the W.”

In Unrivaled’s inaugural season, Reese helped lead Rose BC to a championship win and was named Defensive Player of the Year. With the playoffs fast approaching, her mid-season addition is more than just a strategic move; it’s a thrilling development for players and fans alike.

Expect all eyes to be on Reese as she steps back onto the court. Will her return be the game-changer Rose BC needs? Stay tuned as this story develops, and mark your calendars for February 20 when Reese reclaims her spot in the league.
