Angel Reese was emotional after her record-setting WNBA season was cut short due to injury.
For her next move, the Chicago Sky forward is focusing on herself a bit.
The rookie suffered a left wrist fracture in the team’s win over the Los Angeles Sparks on September 6, with the team later announcing that she would miss the rest of the season.
Reese had a strong rookie year, setting the single-season record for rebounds with 446 even though her season was cut short. Reese also recorded 26 double-doubles, second all-time for a single season, and set a WNBA record with 15 straight double-doubles.
After the announcement that she would miss the season, Reese took to social media to share an emotional message,.
“I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season ending injury, but also filled with so much gratitude for what is next,” Reese wrote. “Although this is God’s timing and not mine, I am finally able to give myself a physical and mental break. ‘God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.’ ”
Reese is now following through with the physical and mental break she mentioned. The Sky forward took to her Instagram stories on September 14 to give fans a glimpse of her “perfect self date.”
