Angel Reese out of Chicago? Well, that’s what the late-season fallout between Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky hinted. “If things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me,” Reese said, hinting at a possible departure. The statement suggested that the star forward could be wearing a new jersey next season. Although Reese later apologized, her frustration with the Sky’s performance was evident. Since then, fans were searching for a sign, and they may have just found one.

Reports also indicated that some teammates were unhappy with her comments, adding to the growing tension within the locker room. And then Reese had already made her debut in the acting world by making a cameo in Idris Elba’s latest movie. Now, she has recently left a mark in the fashion world. The Chicago Sky star recently became the first pro athlete to star in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She walked the runway alongside supermodels like Bella and Gigi Hadid, and former “Angels” including Adriana Lima.

More than the feat, however, several WNBA fans were interested in talking about her outfit. After all, one of the outfits that Reese had donned was a baby doll T-shirt with a cutout. Glittery 3D angel wings were attached to it and behind the athlete. Wings. Dallas Wings!!!! Yes, that’s the connection.

Well, the wings could mean anything. Isn’t the player’s first name ‘ANGEL’? Furthermore, this is not the first time a Victoria’s Secret Model has worn an outfit with wings attached to it. According to reports, the show has featured various forms and sizes of wings, such as butterfly, peacock, or devil wings, over the years. The same have become emblematic of the Victoria’s Secret brand.

Unfortunately, given the tension between Reese and the Chicago Sky, along with the discussion on the WNBA free agency, people are willing to draw any connections they can.

WNBA fans claim Angel Reese is heading to Dallas Wings after Victoria’s Secret debut

One social media user highlighted Angel Reese’s recent ramp walk and wrote, “Welcome to the Dallas Wings, Angel Reese”. People talking about Angel Reese going to the Dallas Wings isn’t new. In fact, discussion on the same has been going on since early September. Sporting News writer Jeremy Beren highlighted the intrigue behind this by writing:

“The Wings need to make progress, and fast. Dallas has won a combined 18 games over the past two seasons — and the chance to pair Reese with Paige Bueckers could be awfully alluring for a franchise that has won a single playoff series since moving to Dallas from Tulsa in 2016”.

If that wasn’t enough, another curious comment read, “Angel Reese to the Dallas Wings confirmed?” Wait, getting Reese to the Lone Star State won’t be easy. After all, as reports reveal, the Wings would likely have to shell out draft capital to land Reese, including potential lottery picks in 2026 and 2027. The same would matter less if it meant she would be paired with the 1st pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft.

Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers already hold mutual respect, which they built when both were part of the same team at the 2025 WNBA All-Star game. The Sky star even admitted that, “It’s good to finally be able to play together instead of playing against each other.”

One social media user wrote, “angel walking victoria secret runway wearing wings…you know what else has wings? dallas. Angel Reese is a Dallas wing”. Once again, Wings aren’t a rare theme at the Victoria’s Secret show. From Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum to Constance Jablonski and Hilary Rhoda, several renowned names have donned the wings over the years.

Then a comment read, “Wings look great on you, Angel 🪽”. That would have been considered a genuine compliment, had it not been for the fact that the comment was written by a Dallas Wings fan page!

One social media user wrote, “At this point, if Angel Reese is caught eating chicken wings, Dallas fans are going to throw a red carpet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣”. Given how the situation has unfolded, there is a good chance of the same happening. Overall, a majority of reactions saw people united in thinking that Angel Reese is headed to the Dallas Wings. In the end, only time will tell whether the player was being intentional with those wings or whether it is all just a coincidence.
