Angel Reese names which accessories she would have for her Barbie
Earlier this week, as the Sky promoted the Barbie-themed game, Angel Reese was asked what accessories she would own if she had a doll based on her:
"If I had a Barbie, I'd make sure I have, like a vault of so many different clothes, like different styles of clothes. So like sporty, like super girly, maybe like edgy. So I would have, like so many different kinds of looks. And then I'd also have like so many different kinds of wigs."
This game is important for Reese and the Sky, not just because of the special theme, but also for the chance to tie up the regular-season series against the Fever, hold on to the seventh position in the standings and snap a five-game losing streak.
The Indiana Fever, on the other hand, could reach the .500 mark for the first time this season, while the Sky could move closer to getting a postseason berth with a win.
