Angel Reese has kept herself quite busy the last few days.

On Friday, the Chicago Sky played at her alma mater LSU in an exhibition game vs. Brazil. Reese put up a double-double on 15 points and 10 rebounds in the 89–62 win.

Then, on Saturday, Reese celebrated her 23rd birthday, which was actually on Tuesday.

On Sunday, she flew to New York City to prepare for the Met Gala, where she was on the committee. It was her second Met Gala after she made her debut during her rookie WNBA season last year. Her outfit was quickly a fan favorite. Then, she flew back to Chicago and arrived there at 2 a.m. on Tuesday morning in order to prepare for the Sky's preseason game vs. the Minnesota Lynx.

“I don’t know how I’m doing this. I’m living on vibes," Reese admitted when speaking to media on Tuesday afternoon, via the Chicago Tribune's Julia Poe.
