Angel Reese’s WNBA season is over.

The star Chicago Sky rookie took to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday to reveal that, due to a wrist injury, she’ll miss the remainder of the season.

“What a year,” Reese posted. “I never would have imagined the last bucket of my rookie season would be a 3 but maybe that was God saying give them a taste of what they will be seeing more of in Year 2 lol. Through it all, I have showed that I belong in this league even when no one else believed. 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. Although this is God’s timing and not mine, I am finally able to give myself a physical and mental break. ‘God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.'”

Reese added “You’ll still see me being the biggest cheerleader on the sideline! And Unrivaled league, see you soon!”

Reese was selected No. 7 overall by the Sky in April’s WNBA Draft. She averaged a double-double on the year with 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds a game and represented the victorious WNBA All-Stars against Team USA in the All-Star Game.
