The latest clash between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets welcomed a member of college basketball royalty on Friday night.
That’s because LSU star Angel Reese sat courtside at Madison Square Garden as she waits to find out where she will be playing in the WNBA next season.
It was announced on Friday that Reese and Caitlin Clark will headline a list of 15 college players who have been invited to the WNBA draft on Monday in Brooklyn.

Reese, known for her eyelash extensions, painted fingernails and ferocious play in the paint, formally declared for the draft last week.
The 21-year-old, whose career interests also include modeling and fashion, announced her decision via a photo shoot in Vogue, saying she was inspired by tennis great Serena Williams announcing her retirement in 2022 in a similar manner.

Up until LSU’s season ended, Reese publicly left open the option of returning to the Tigers. But she acknowledged having made up her mind to turn pro before March Madness began.
‘Of course, I like to do everything big,’ Reese told the magazine. ‘I didn’t want anything to be basic.
‘I’ve done everything I wanted to in college,’ added Reese, who also has expressed interest in playing professionally in Europe during the WNBA offseason.
‘I’ve won a national championship, I’ve gotten (Southeastern Conference) Player of the Year, I’ve been an All-American. My ultimate goal is to be a pro – and to be one of the greatest basketball players to play, ever. I feel like I’m ready.’
Reese helped LSU win the NCAA championship in 2023 and is expected to go somewhere in the first round, potentially to Chicago Sky.
