Angel Reese wasted no time catching a flight to Paris after she recorded a double-double in her first WNBA All-Star game on Saturday.
The Chicago Sky rookie traveled to Paris with her friend, Jasmin Reed, a former track and field sprinter at Oregon, as seen in a TikTok video Reese shared on Monday.
The pair then took in the US men’s basketball team’s 92-88 win over Germany at London’s O2 Arena Monday night.
