Sports at a glance

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Dream acquired two-time WNBA All-Star Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky in exchange for first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028 on Monday.

Atlanta also receives the right to swap second-round picks with Chicago in 2028. The 6-foot-3 Reese averaged 14.1 points and 12.9 rebounds in her two seasons with Chicago, earning All-Star honors each year while finishing as the runner-up for rookie of the year in 2024.

The 23-year-old Reese was the No. 7 overall pick by Chicago in the 2024 WNBA draft after leading LSU to the 2023 national championship.

n The Chicago Bulls fired executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley, ending a six-year run that produced just one playoff appearance. The Bulls gutted their roster before the trade deadline. But Karnisovas and Eversley won’t be around for the next phase of a revamp. Chicago was 224-254 during their tenure. The Bulls are 12th in the Eastern Conference at 29-49 and are missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

NY’s Lawrence wants out

Three-time Pro Bowl nose tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade from the New York Giants and will not attend their offseason workout program, according to three people familiar with the situation.

Lawrence has played his first seven NFL seasons with the Giants since they selected him with the 17th pick in the 2019 draft out of Clemson.

Now 28, he still has two years left on his contract, set to earn $20 million and $19.5 million in each of the next two seasons.

Lawrence started all 17 games last season. He finished with a career-low 31 tackles and a half-sack for a defense that ranked 30th out of 32 teams in the league. He has 341 tackles and 30.5 sacks in 109 regular-season games in the league.
