Despite having a stellar rookie season, Angel Reese met an abrupt end, just when her team needed her the most. It all began with a game against the Sparks, where the league’s leader in rebounds scored an impressive 24 points. Just when she thought everything was going right, she landed on her left wrist. It was a hairline fracture that cost her the season’s end and, ultimately, a playoff spot for the Chicago Sky. Sad right? However, it seems the rookie has moved past the regret.
In a recent story uploaded to her social media account, she wrote, “We will make the playoffs next year.” The post was made from a hotel room, where she was watching Breanna Stewart’s New York Liberty face the Atlanta Dream in Round 1. But that wasn’t the only update from Reese. According to another post on her story, she’s currently 2,041 miles away from the Sky.

It all unfolded when she posted a picture of herself with “Big Whit” at the stadium. Unexpectedly, the Chicago Sky All-Star forward was at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood to attend the game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. This time, she opted for a belly shirt paired with denim cargo shorts—just perfect! But the preparation wasn’t just about participating as an audience member; it was more about meeting former Rams player Andrew Whitworth.
