Hailey Van Lith reunites with Angel Reese in WNBA after teaming up during historic college career
NEW YORK (AP) — Hailey Van Lith shared some hugs with family and then a kiss with NBA player Jalen Suggs, who was thrilled that the Chicago Sky selected his girlfriend with the No. 11 pick in the WNBA draft. So was Angel Reese. Van Lith and Reese, college teammates at LSU, will be reunited as pros. Van Lith was the first player to be part of three teams that reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. One was LSU, which was attempting to defend its 2023 national title when Iowa stopped the Tigers in the regional final in Reese’s final college game. Reese wrote on X that she and Van Lith didn’t get it right the first time and should run it back.
