Angel Reese recently shared some unfortunate news about her basketball season – an injury that will require surgery and end her season prematurely. In a heartfelt TikTok video posted late Sunday night, Reese explained that she suffered a small crack in a bone in her wrist when she fell awkwardly during a game.
Despite the option of not having surgery, Reese decided it was necessary to prevent potential long-term health issues. She will undergo surgery to insert a small screw in the cracked bone, followed by a period of wearing casts for several weeks to aid in the healing process.
Reese, the No. 7 pick in the draft, had been having a standout season, setting records for her impressive performance. Her injury comes as a blow to the WNBA community, especially after her remarkable rookie year.
While focusing on her recovery, Reese plans to stay involved in activities off the court, including training, podcasting, and supporting her teammates. She also clarified false rumors about being pregnant, emphasizing her commitment to her career and sports.
Despite the setback, Reese remains optimistic about her team’s playoff prospects and is determined to stay engaged with the sport she loves. Her resilience and positive attitude are an inspiration to fans and fellow players alike.
