Angel Reese is not here for whatever shenanigans fans are up to regarding her wrist injury.
On Saturday, Angel shared via social media that her rookie season would end early due to a season-ending wrist injury. The news shocked many — including Caitlin Clark, who wished her well — because Angel had just completed a stellar shooting performance against the Sparks, a noteworthy highlight to add to her rookie season. Of course, that led many fans to speculate with really outrageous reasoning about why she was cutting her rookie year short. (We will not amplify any of those takes here, but some of you need to go outside, touch some grass and stop making assumptions that only confirm your biases.)
As you might suspect, the online chatter over Angel’s injury got back to her. During an Instagram live session on Sunday, she trolled those who think she’s faking her injury, saying, “Would you like me to show you my x-rays, stinky poo?” before making mimicking crying sounds. She quickly followed that up with, “Just because you guys don’t have, like, cliques anymore, or I don’t have something to say anymore, doesn’t mean I’m faking it, booski.”
Angel also went to TikTok to answer questions many people have been wondering about, including how her injury happened, her upcoming surgery, and what the next several weeks will look like.
Angel Reese Explains Why She’s ‘Scared’ to Go to Gas Stations

Angel Reese isn’t one to frequent gas stations.
This week, the Chicago Sky player and podcaster was getting her car fueled up while she sat inside. But some fans noticed Reese and took the opportunity to ask her for a picture.
“Look this is why I don’t like going to the gas station because people always rolling up on my car,” the 22-year-old began. Reese then rolled down her window to greet a female fan who said she was “so pretty in real life” and was surprised to see the WNBA star in person. Reese then accepted the woman’s ask for a picture.
“Nah, that was a little scary. That’s why I was like, ‘Sure,'” Reese continued after taking a picture with the woman. “‘Cause, at first, I don’t
know, when people get out the car, I be like [makes back-up gesture].”
She continued, “Especially the world we living in right now–people getting killed by the day!”
Reese then asked if “you’re so pretty in person” was a “backhanded compliment.” “I mean I take it ’cause, see me in person,” she concluded.
Since greeting a fan at the gas station, Reese has temporarily deactivated her Instagram account after receiving backlash for her spicy New Year’s Eve dress.
She’s since remained active on TikTok, cleverly using Hailey Bieber ‘s “make bitches mad from scratch” soundbite in her latest post.
