Touching base on several topics ahead of the Sky’s first game of the new season against the Dallas Wings on May 15, the rookie forward, who turned 22 on Monday, shared her desire to hopefully chat with the former Chicago Bullsguard – a six-time NBA champion – one day soon.
‘There are so many great players that have come before us here. Candace [Parker] being retired. Michael Jordan,’ Reese told WGN News.
‘I want Michael Jordan to come to a game. I’m telling you right now. I want Michael Jordan to come to a game.
‘I’ve never met him! That’ll be the first time,’ she added.
Cardoso got hurt in the Sky’s 92-81 defeat against the visiting Minnesota Lynx on Friday, which was widely watched on a fan’s livestream after the WNBA was unable to broadcast the matchup.
Cardoso left the floor just 13 minutes into the matchup after putting up six points, four rebounds and two blocked shots.
Meanwhile, Reese attended the 2024 Met Galaat the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for her birthday on Monday.
Furthermore, she can expect large crowds to watch her on this season, as WNBA tickets sales on StubHub are up 93 percent.
The increase followed StubHub’s record sales for the women’s NCAA Tournament and for the 2023 WNBA Finals, spokesperson Adam Budelli said, earlier in May.
