Angel Reese‘s rookie season is officially done … ’cause a wrist injury suffered in her last game put her out of commission.
The Chicago Sky center took to social media Saturday to announce the news … joking she couldn’t imagine her last shot of the season would be a three-pointer — before saying she’s filled with emotion at the premature end to her year.
That said, AR says she’s super grateful for whatever comes next … adding this might be God’s timing — but, at least she can give herself a physical and mental break.
Reese says the league better look out next year … ’cause they might see her draining more threes.
Reese — drafted seventh in this year’s WNBA draft out of LSU — averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds over the course of 34 games.
She set a record with 15 consecutive double-doubles earlier this season as well … all leading to an All-Star selection and Rookie of the Year consideration.
Angel Reese got hyped seeing Caitlin Clark take a cheap shot 😬

Of course, Angel’s rivalry with Caitlin Clark has captured fan attention this year … with video of her clapping when Clark was fouled hard by a teammate going viral on social media.
She’s publicly denied having a feud with the Rookie of the Year frontrunner in recent months, but fans online are certainly dividing into two camps.
In any case, Angel’s taking some much-deserved R&R … and, fans will be sure to see her at her best next year.
