Records three blocks in Game 2 Reese finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 93-75 Game 2 win over the Mystics.

Impact It wasn't the best game from Reese, who cooled off somewhat after posting a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double in Game 1. However, the 2024 No. 7 overall pick still played a role, especially on the defensive side of the ball. With the Dream sweeping the Mystics, Atlanta will advance to the semifinals for a meeting with New York. In three games against the Liberty during the 2026 campaign, Reese averaged 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals over 27.9 minutes per outing.

Not listed on injury report Reese (face) is not listed on the injury report for Game 1 of the first round of the WNBA Playoffs versus Washington.

Impact Reese suffered a facial injury in Wednesday's 83-65 win over the Liberty and didn't return. However, her departure was likely precautionary, considering it won't keep her off the floor for the opener against the Mystics. In three regular-season games versus Washington during the 2026 campaign, Reese averaged 15.3 rebounds, 12.7 points, 1.7 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.0 blocks over 30.6 minutes per contest, though she shot an inefficient 30.6 percent from the field.
