In less than two weeks, Angel Reese will make her debut in the new Unrivaled league. Ahead of opening night, she reacted to a recent workout clip of one of her new teammates.

When the players were divided into teams, Reese found herself on Rose Basketball Club. Among the women she will be playing alongside is Lexie Hull. During the WNBA season, the former No. 6 pick plays alongside Caitlin Clark on the Indiana Fever.

On Wednesday afternoon, Rose posted a clip of Hull getting shots up on the team's Instagram account. Reese hyped up her Unrivaled teammate in the comment section with a three-word reaction.

"GO BIG LEXIEEEE," Reese wrote.

Hull is coming off her best season in the pros, finishing tied for fifth in Sixth Woman of the Year voting. Across 34 games, the 24-year-old averaged 5.5 points and 2.5 reboundings, shooting an impressive 47.1% from beyond the arc.

Aside from Hull and Angel Reese, the rest of Rose Basketball Club includes Chelsea Gray, Brittney Sykes, Kahleah Copper and Azurá Stevens. They won't be waiting long to debut, as they are part of the opening night doubleheader. Reese and company will be in action on Jan. 17, facing off against Vinyl.

Leading up to opening night, all the Unrivaled squads have begun practicing to prepare for the new three-on-three environment. In some recent clips that have surfaced, Lexie Hull and Angel Reese appear to be improving their chemistry on the court.

Most of the players in Unrivaled are still relatively fresh with the WNBA season ending not too long ago. However, these practice reps are crucial for a player like Reese. She had her rookie year cut short due to injury, and Unrivaled will mark her return to competitive play.

On Tuesday evening, Rose posted a snippet of footage from their practice that day. In the clip, Hull and Angel Reese are seen operating in the pick-and-roll. The two seamlessly worked together as the play resulted in an easy layup for the All-Star forward.

Before getting injured, Reese was a double-double threat for the Chicago Sky on a nightly basis. She ended her rookie campaign with averages of 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds, finishing second in ROY voting behind Caitlin Clark.

Now fully recovered, Reese is poised to continue showing she's one of the game's top young talents. Seeing as she's one of the more notable names among mainstream fans, her return to play should be a big storyline opening night.
