"I'm excited for what it's going to look like in September." Angel Reese joined @SportsCenter to talk about her outloo

What happened: Angel Reese joined SportsCenter to discuss her outlook on the Atlanta Dream's season, her philanthropy and her love for fashion. She framed the months ahead as the real test, saying she is "excited for what it's going to look like in September."

Why it matters: September is when the WNBA's postseason picture sharpens, and Reese is pointing Atlanta toward that stretch run rather than its fast start. The Dream entered the day among the Eastern Conference's stronger sides, giving her forward-looking confidence a concrete foundation.

By the numbers: Atlanta sits at 12-5 this season, winners of three straight, scoring 88.9 points per game while allowing 82.8. Reese is the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.

What to watch: Watch whether Atlanta sustains its pace and rebounding edge as the schedule deepens toward the September playoff chase.
