The Chicago Sky have been struggling without Angel Reese.

She's missed eight of Chicago's 10 games since the All-Star break, dealing with a back injury that's plagued her throughout her second season in the WNBA.

While Reese works through rehab, having stayed back from traveling with the team for their past two games against the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun, she made a change.

Reese changed up her hairstyle, now rocking close tied braids with a sway to the left side that shows the flowing style.

She posted the photo of herself on social media, with a message for over 5 million fans on Instagram.

"Oh & we got new hair," Reese said. "Good morning."

Aside from showing off her new look to fans on social media, Reese has also spent time promoting her personal brand on various apps like Instagram, TikTok and X.

She's widely regarded as one of the most popular players in the WNBA, alongside another young star in Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.

Reese's stardom was sparked during her collegiate career with the LSU Tigers and fans have since followed to witness her transformation on and off the court.

Throughout her second season in the WNBA, Reese has posted 14.2 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game for the Sky.

Reese has been impressive under head coach Tyler Marsh when she's available, but she has struggled to stay on the court, working through the back injury.
