Angel Reese is under fire. The Chicago Sky forward has engendered controversy this week with blunt declarations about her future with the franchise, which prompted the two-time All-Star to apologize to her teammates following Wednesday's win over the Connecticut Sun.

The source of Reese's frustration can be tied to the Sky's struggles for consistency since Chicago drafted her seventh overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft. After mustering a 13-27 record in Reese's rookie season, the Sky is 10-30 in 2025 -- a combined 23-57 record that is the second-worst in The W since the start of 2024.

Reese remains intent on competing and winning at the highest level. And her profile -- not to mention her business portfolio -- is only growing as she continues to excel on the court while demonstrating her marketability off it.

On Thursday, Reese was announced as a new member of TOGETHXR's ownership group, which brings her aboard the rising media and commerce collective that is responsible for the wildly-popular "Everyone Watches Women's Sports" shirts and hoodies.

"Joining TOGETHXR’s ownership group means so much to me because it’s more than just being part of a platform,” Reese said via statement. “It’s about changing the way women in sports are seen and celebrated. I’ve always wanted to use my voice and my game to open doors for others, and TOGETHXR is doing exactly that."

As part of Reese's investment in TOGETHXR -- which counts Sue Bird and Alex Morgan as its co-founders -- the "Chi-Town Barbie" is getting her own limited-edition oversized jersey, which is sure to add to the millions of dollars in revenue that the company has generated in the past year-plus.
