But Reese’s actions have also sparked some social media chaos.
A popular parody account has claimed that Reese has requested a trade. And well, that’d be a big deal, if it was true.
Did Angel Reese request a trade?
No, Angel Reese did not request a trade.
This is the post from parody account NBA Cental that claimed that to be the case:
There are no actual reports that suggest this to be true. It’s just a parody post to capitalize on Reese’s popularity.
By midday Saturday, it had nearly 700,000 views on X.
It’s also just misrepresentative of Reese’s talent.
She’s got a case as the best rebounder in the history of the WNBA already, and she’s only in her second season.

If Reese requested a trade, there’d be a lot of interest from other teams in the league. She’s also incredibly marketable, only adding value to any deal.
Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet.
