Angel Reese’s record-setting WNBA season came to an abrupt end due to a left wrist fracture suffered during the Chicago Sky’s win over the Los Angeles Sparks on September 6. Despite the setback, Reese is choosing to focus on self-care and personal growth. In an emotional social media post, she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to take a physical and mental break, quoting “God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers”. 
Reese’s impressive rookie year was marked by numerous achievements, including setting the single-season record for rebounds with 446, recording 26 double-doubles (second all-time for a single season), and establishing a WNBA record with 15 consecutive double-doubles ¹. Her remarkable performance earned her widespread recognition and admiration from fans and critics alike.
As Reese prioritizes her well-being, she’s indulging in self-date nights, complete with oysters and wine in a private room – her idea of a “perfect self-date” ¹. This brief respite will likely recharge her batteries for the challenges ahead. With her resilience and determination, Angel Reese is poised to bounce back stronger than ever, inspiring fans with her unwavering spirit and unrelenting passion for the game.
