Angel Reese‘s sensational rookie campaign has come to an end because of a season-ending wrist injury suffered Friday against the Los Angeles Sparks, the team announced Saturday night.
Reese, the No. 7 pick in the 2024 draft and star national champion out of LSU, made a statement in her first season in the WNBA. She had 26 double-doubles, second most in a season, and earlier this summer set a WNBA record with 15 consecutive double-doubles.
Reese’s final season averages were 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.
Reese’s standout play earned her an All-Star selection, as she and Caitlin Clark — her college rival and main competitor in the Rookie of the Year race — became the first pair of rookies to earn All-Star nods since 2014. Reese was Chicago’s fourth rookie All-Star and first since 2013.
Heading into their game Sunday against the Dallas Wings, Reese was initially listed on the Sky’s injury report as questionable.
“What a year,” Reese posted…
