Kamilla Cardoso celebrated her 23rd birthday on Tuesday. She was lucky enough to have the day off, but the Chicago Sky coaching staff made sure to not forget to give her a gift as soon as they returned to practice the following day.

Her teammates sang her “Happy Birthday” once practice wrapped up, with Angel Reese stepping up right beside her and leading the singing. She then claimed her gift basket, which featured a couple of bags of Takis and other snacks.

Fans of the Sky were happy to see Cardoso and Reese so close to each other and genuinely bonding. The two had several battles during their time at South Carolina and LSU, respectively. Many of those battles were hard-fought and resulted in a lot of contact and trash-talking on the court.
But college basketball is in the past and both players have high expectations heading into their rookie season with the Sky. Chicago is looking to return to glory after a subpar season in 2023. The franchise won the WNBA finals in 2021.
