The stars were out in Brooklyn on Sunday night for the final game of the WNBA season, including one of the league's own.

The home crowd was heavily in favor of the eventual champion Liberty, but one celebrity was split between both teams: Chicago Sky star Angel Reese.

The former LSU star, who just finished her rookie year, was in Brooklyn for the big game, and she was donning a split outfit, with one half of her shirt repping the Lynx and the other half showing off the Liberty.
Reese's Sky failed to make the playoffs despite her averaging a double-double on the season. She and Caitlin Clark were the only two rookies to be named All-Stars.
The Liberty captured their first title in franchise history, and Reese celebrated with several members of the team, including WNBA Finals MVP Jonquel Jones.
