Chicago Sky star forward Angel Reese is celebrating Easter Sunday today.

Reese is not shy about expressing herself on social media. Whether it's basketball-related matters or her political opinions, the second-year WNBA standout will tell you what she thinks and how she feels and let you worry about how you feel about it.

Reese has spoken about her Christian faith openly as well, dating back to her days at LSU. On Sunday, she issued a short message on social media indicating her devotion.

"He is Risen. Today like any other day is for you, Jesus Christ," Reese wrote.

Like we said, this is far from the first time Reese has discussed her faith. While leading LSU to the national championship in 2023, she told reporters she had gotten into the habit of praying daily.

“I pray before every game,” said Reese. “So that's my time to get my prayer together by myself. I pray in the morning when I wake up. I pray -- I read my devotional every morning, then I pray with Auntie Chanté on staff, then I pray by myself, and then I get one more going up before the game.

“This year has been something that I've been a lot closer to God, and I think that's why I'm here right now in this position. A year ago -- it's crazy how my life changed in a year. I was back home by this time. So just being able to be in this moment, like (LSU teammate) Alexis (Morris) said, God did.”

Also, last month, Reese shared an interaction she had with a pastor while on a flight.

"Whew God be right on time," Reese wrote on X/Twitter at the time. "Just sat next to a pastor on a flight and he prayed for me & with me! He said he felt some random back pain and thought the person next to him could be feeling some type of pain and he was right. Much needed."

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate.
