Angel Reese makes final decision on leaving WNBA for new league

Published

on

Angel Reese, a Chicago Sky forward, had one of the most exciting rookie seasons in WNBA history.

Reese set records for consecutive double-doubles and single-season rebounds before a wrist injury cut her season short, allowing MVP A’Ja Wilson to surpass her.

Reese even discussed her double-double record with Athlon Sports.

“I’m truly not focused on my individual accolades,” Reese told me. “I’m always focused on our team and what we need to do collectively to win.”

After her inaugural season in the WNBA, Reese is leaving the league to play more games abroad. Athlon inquired about her involvement in the new Unrivaled three-on-three league.

“I’m excited for the league’s first season!” Reese proclaimed.

It is evident that Reese’s decision is definitive, and she will compete in the Unrivaled. The WNBA will not be pleased with one of its biggest stars risking injury out of season, nor with the precedent it may create for future stars, but it obviously lacks the authority to prevent its stars from playing in other leagues.

It would be interesting to watch whether Reese and other players opt not to return to the WNBA after joining the Unrivaled.

Unfortunately, not everyone is cut out for the money and attention that professional sports bring.

It’s unfortunate, but Angel Reese, a Chicago Sky star forward, may be experiencing this. The singer shared a devastating video on social media about her current financial situation.

The video begins with Reese noting that her detractors pay her expenses, before taking a sinister turn.

“Hating pays the bills, sweetie. I really hope you know that the WNBA does not cover any of my costs,” she remarked. “I don’t think that will cover one of my bills. I’m literally trying to think about my rent for where I live. Let me do the numbers quickly. I don’t even know what my income is. $74,000?”

Reese’s pal performs the arithmetic, and she discovers her WNBA salary is insufficient to cover her $8,000 per month rent. “I’m living above my means!” Reese proclaims.

Support for Angel Reese: A Matter of Personal Choice:

“Babe, if you thought…” That WNBA check doesn’t pay anything. Did that cover my auto note? “I wouldn’t be able to eat a sandwich with that,” she adds. “I would not be able to eat. “I wouldn’t be able to survive,” she continued.

“Shorty said she’s paying $8k/month for rent and acting like that’s a flex,” one admirer wrote on Twitter.

“Black people must quit attempting to impress one another and live within their means. You know how much money you make. Another enthusiast suggested investing if the current amount is insufficient.

“Sometimes women can just unnecessarily talk for no reason like why are u saying this lol nobody asked to know any of this lol,” commented a different individual.

“On her way to only fans,” one fan wrote.

Angel Reese, the standout forward for the LSU women’s basketball team, recently stirred debate and anxiety among fans after a social media post fueled speculations that she was considering joining OnlyFans, a network frequently connected with sexual content.

Reese, who has grown in prominence both on and off the court, has received criticism from certain fans concerned about her public image and the trajectory of her career.

While it is unknown whether these reports are true, they have sparked a broader discussion about the scrutiny female athletes receive for their personal choices and public identities.

Many fans have backed Reese, arguing that she should be allowed to make her own decisions without being judged. As of now, Reese has neither verified or rejected these claims, and it is unclear whether this will have an affect on her future career.
