Angel Reese has officially announced the early end of her rookie season with the Chicago Sky due to a wrist injury. Despite the setback, Reese’s debut season was nothing short of historic, finishing with 26 double-doubles and surpassing legends like Candace Parker and Sylvia Fowles.
Off the court, Reese’s influence continues to grow. She recently collaborated with Reese’s Pieces on an exclusive merchandise collection, offering fans custom apparel like tees, hoodies, and a basketball jersey.

Beyond her ventures in sports and fashion, Reese is dedicated to giving back. She previously launched the Angel C. Reese Foundation, which aims to empower young women by providing access to sports, education, and financial literacy programs. The foundation also supports initiatives like basketball camps and scholarship programs, all aimed at fostering opportunities for underrepresented groups.
Reese has also been a strong advocate for mental health and combating online bullying. In a powerful campaign titled "Block the Negativity, Post Up Positivity," she highlighted the alarming statistic that 87% of female athletes experience harassment in online spaces. The campaign, created in collaboration with The Net Mental Health Network, uses AI to block harmful comments and create a safer environment for athletes.
In a recent Instagram Live, Reese assured her fans that her recovery will only take six weeks, with two weeks of recovery before she’s back on the court ahead of Halloween. She also confirmed her participation in the 2025 Unrivaled Basketball League, keeping her future in the sport as bright as ever.
