Angel Reese arrives in Paris — right before 2024 Olympics

Stars: they’re just like us!
Angel Reese wrote a curiously timed post on X, in which she noted that her luggage got lost by an unnamed airline en route to Paris.
“They lost our bags & said we only get ‘$100 in euros’ to shop until they find them but we made it to Paris,” Reese tweeted , adding two tears emojis.
Aside from 100 euros not being nearly sufficient relative to cover Reese’s typical attire, it was interesting timing because the Olympics kick off in Paris this weekend.
Nevertheless, Team USA plays Germany in a tune-up game in London on Tuesday, so one would reckon that’s where Reese would’ve headed if she were joining the team.
It’s also likely that Team USA would’ve sought to quiet Reese about being in Paris before they could make an announcement.
Therefore, at this juncture it seems more likely that Reese is just enjoying a jaunt to Paris, perhaps coupled with some international marketing opportunities.

The WNBA season is on pause for the Olympics until mid-August.
Reese has impressed as a rookie on the Chicago Sky this season, having had a WNBA-record 15-game streak in which she compiled a double-double.
In the All-Star Game this past weekend, Reese had 12 points and 11 rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench as the WNBA All-Stars defeated Team USA, 117-109.

Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale stole the show in the game , scoring 34 points, all in the second half, and winning the All-Star Game MVP.
This was a case of history repeating itself, as Ogunbowale also won the All-Star MVP when she was snubbed from Team USA for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
