  "account": "Angel Reese returned from the World Cup with a major opportunity waiting for her with the Atlanta Dream. The WNBA team resumed their season against the Connecticut Sun, having recently concluded their break following the international tournament. Reese, who had been averaging 16.1 points and 12.4 rebounds per game during the World Cup, returned to the Dream with considerable stakes, as the team was now in a competitive playoff position. The Dream had already secured a playoff berth but still needed to determine their playoff seeding. Reese, who had broken several WNBA records during her time with the Dream, would now be expected to lead the team to further success in the postseason.",
  "summary": "Angel Reese returned to Atlanta as a world champion Thursday night. Her next assignment could determine whether the Dream enter the WNBA playoffs as a legitimate championship threat.",
