Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has had an extraordinary WNBA rookie season, breaking multiple all-time records in rebounding and double-doubles. She is currently averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds.
Reese announced on Saturday that her WNBA rookie season has come to an end.
“What a year,” Reese started. “I never would have imagined that my final basket of my rookie season would be a 3-pointer, but maybe that was God’s way of showing what’s to come in Year 2. Through it all, I have proven that I deserve to be in this league even when others didn’t believe in me.”

Reese added, “All I have ever wanted was to come into the W and make an impact. I can confidently say I have done that and will strive to keep doing so. 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 also shared this announcement on Instagram and received a message from 13-year NBA veteran Quentin Richardson.

Richardson played the first four of his 13 NBA seasons with the LA Clippers and now co-hosts the Knuckleheads Podcast with his former teammate Darius Miles.
Although Reese did not specify her season-ending injury, the Sky confirmed that she will be sidelined for the rest of the season due to a wrist injury.
