New Merchandise Marks Angel Reese's Rise to 2026 WNBA Defensive Supremacy

Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese captured the 2026 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year honors, securing 46 out of 74 votes to edge out competitors Gabby Williams and A’ja Wilson. To mark her milestone achievement as the first franchise player to earn the accolade, she introduced fresh T-shirt designs via her podcast.

Reese posted stellar regular-season averages of 16.4 points and 12.1 rebounds while breaking league records for total rebounds, offensive rebounds, single-game boards, and consecutive double-doubles.

Following a first-round sweep of the Washington Mystics, Reese and her Atlanta teammates advanced to the postseason semifinals. They prepare to clash with the New York Liberty in a best-of-five matchup beginning this weekend. The opening contest takes place at State Farm Arena.
