Teammates Turned Pros: Angel Reese Shows Love to Aneesah Morrow

 

The 2024 WNBA Draft was filled with emotion, excitement, and pride — especially for two former LSU standouts. Angel Reese, now a rookie for the Chicago Sky, took a moment to show love to her former teammate Aneesah Morrow, who was selected by the Connecticut Sun. From Baton Rouge to the pros, their journey is a powerful testament to hard work, sisterhood, and unwavering determination.

 

Reese, known for her fierce presence on the court and strong bond with her teammates, shared a heartfelt message after Morrow’s name was called. “Proud is an understatement,” she posted on social media. “My girl is going to shine in the W.” The two played together during LSU’s 2023–24 season, creating a dynamic duo that helped push the Tigers to national prominence once again.

 

Morrow, a versatile forward with a knack for rebounding and scoring in bunches, made an immediate impact at LSU after transferring from DePaul. Her chemistry with Reese was evident on the court — both feeding off each other’s energy and intensity. Now, as they head to different teams in the W, their bond remains strong.

 

Draft night served as a celebration of dreams realized and futures just beginning. For Reese and Morrow, it was also a reminder of the journey they shared — from practice battles to game-winning plays — and how that foundation will carry them forward.

 

As the WNBA season approaches, fans are eager to see how both players will make their mark. One thing is for sure: whether they’re teammates or opponents, the love and respect between them runs deep. The league is in for something special.

 

From Baton Rouge to the W, the story continues — and it’s just getting started.
