Angel Reese’s popularity has the Mystics changing arenas for their game against the Sky

Caitlin Clark isn’t the only WNBA rookie out here moving the needle, folks.

The Bayou Chi-Town Barbie built her name on her work at LSU, but she’s taking all that she’s built with her to the WNBA.

As soon as her name was called last month, Angel Reese became one of the most popular players in the WNBA. We’ve already seen her flex her stardom quite a bit this season with her tearing up the Met Gala before beating down the New York Liberty in a preseason game for Chicago.

Teams will have to adjust when Angel Reese comes to their arena this season just like they’re doing with Clark. The Washington Mystics are already on it.

To accommodate larger crowds, the Mystics are moving their June 6 game against the Chicago Sky from the Entertainment and Sports Arena to a bigger venue in Capital One Arena, where the Wizards play their games.

Sheesh, man. What’s funny is that the very next night the Mystics will be right back at Captial One Arena on June 7. Why? Caitlin Clark is in the building.

It’s going to be a fun week in D.C.
