    Stars Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese tease an exciting off-court collaboration, hinting at a major joint project that could redefine their growing influence.

    Two of the WNBA’s brightest young stars could soon share the spotlight in a new venture off the court.

    Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese and Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers — both among the most recognizable faces in women’s basketball — appear to have a joint project in the works. During a recent TikTok Live, Reese told fans that she and Bueckers are preparing for something major.

    “Me and Paige actually have something really big coming up together,” Reese said. “Stay tuned.”

    The comment immediately fueled speculation across social media, with fans eager to see what form the collaboration might take. Both players have built influential brands that extend far beyond the game — from fashion and media to endorsements and public appearances — making a crossover between the two a natural next step.

    Reese has already established herself as one of the WNBA’s most marketable players, launching her own LLC, trademarking the phrase “mebounds,” and hosting her own podcast. Her confident personality and social media savvy have made her a cultural figure as much as a basketball standout.

    Bueckers, meanwhile, has balanced her on-court stardom with growing off-court visibility. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year recently traveled abroad to attend Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, appearing on the club’s official pre-match broadcast. She’s also become a fixture in Dallas sports circles, appearing at Mavericks, Cowboys, and TCU football games while connecting with local fans.

    In an earlier interview, Reese reflected on their shared journey from prep phenoms to professional rivals.

    “I’ve known Paige for a long time,” Reese said over All-Star Weekend. “We were the No. 1 and No. 2 players in our class, so we’ve been in a relationship for a really long time.”

    That bond has only grown stronger as both players have navigated the spotlight. Bueckers, 24, averaged 19.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 36 games for Dallas last season, while Reese posted 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per contest in her second year with Chicago. Despite their teams’ struggles — both finishing 10-34 — the pair remain among the league’s top draws in popularity and engagement.

    Neither player has offered additional details about what’s next, but the possibilities are broad. Reese’s entrepreneurial streak and Bueckers’ increasing media presence have led many to wonder whether the two could launch a joint podcast, fashion campaign, or philanthropic initiative.

    For now, both are focused on their respective offseasons — Bueckers adjusting to a new head coach in Jose Fernandez and Reese balancing training with brand-building. Whatever their “really big” announcement entails, it represents a growing trend among WNBA stars who are expanding their influence well beyond the court.

    If their next move matches the scale of their combined following, the partnership could mark one of the most high-profile crossovers in women’s basketball yet.
