Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese got the last laugh over Team USA despite not being added to the roster for the Paris Olympics.
Now, it appears Reese will be there to watch the games in person as she jetted off to Paris, France, this week. However, things did not go according to plan.
The Chicago Sky rookie, who played in her first WNBA All-Star Game this past weekend, confirmed that she had landed in the French capital on Monday, but she did so without her bags.
‘They lost our bags said we only get ‘$100 in euros’ to shop until they find them but we made it to Paris,’ she wrote on X.

Just the day before, Reese complained that the airport was a ‘ridiculous disaster.’

Angel Reese likely got caught in the global IT outage that has caused widespread disruption and frustration. A software update error caused the outage, which left many travelers stuck in airports across the nation.
Through the first half of the WNBA season, Reese is averaging 13.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, per ESPN.com.
Angel Reese Makes All-Star Game History Alongside Caitlin Clark
Angel Reese finished Saturday’s All-Star Game with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
With those numbers, she became the first rookie to record a double-double in the event. Reese made five-of-10 shots from the floor in her performance.
She also did this in just 18 minutes as she came off the bench for Team WNBA.
A major highlight from Saturday night’s All-Star Game came in the fourth quarter when Caitlin Clark found Reese underneath the hoop for an easy bucket.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for 🤩
