Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky forward, announced on social media that her fantastic debut season has come to an end due to a season-ending injury, without disclosing the specific nature of the injury. The team’s injury report indicated she was dealing with a wrist issue. Reflecting on her season, Reese expressed gratitude for the opportunity to showcase her talent in the league. Despite the setback, she remains determined to continue making an impact in future seasons.

Throughout the season, Reese has been a standout player, averaging 13.6 points and an impressive 13.1 rebounds per game, making her the player with the highest rebound average in WNBA history.

Additionally, she broke the record for total rebounds in a season, surpassing Sylvia Fowles’ previous mark.

Chicago is currently in contention for the final playoff spot in the WNBA, with the team tied with Atlanta for the eighth position as the regular season nears its end. Angel Reese’s impactful performance in her debut season has not gone unnoticed, and her absence will surely be felt as the Sky pushes to secure a playoff berth.
