Angel Reese goes ballistic as Caitlin Clark poses with the award.

Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese recently opened up about her season, expressing her belief that she would have secured the Rookie of the Year (ROTY) title had it not been for an injury that hampered her performance. “”I’d have been there, I’d have been raising that title if it hadn’t been for the injury. Yeah bad things always happen to me”.

 

The talented forward, known for her impressive skill set and competitive spirit, quickly made an impact in the WNBA after being drafted.

 

Reese’s early games showcased her ability to score, rebound, and play tough defense, making her a standout player. However, a significant injury sidelined her during crucial stretches of the season, limiting her contributions and affecting her overall statistics. In a recent interview, she reflected on the frustration of missing key opportunities, stating, “I know I had what it took to be in that ROTY conversation.”

“If it had not been for wrist injury I’d have beeen ROTY. My fans know it, my family know it, everyone knows it”.

With her talent and drive, Angel Reese is poised to become a cornerstone for the Chicago Sky, and the league will undoubtedly keep a close eye on her journey ahead.
