Angel Reese has sensationally revealed that her first season in the WNBA is over due to a wrist injury.

Reese announced the news in a bombshell statement on Saturday night but she did not specify what the issue was. The Chicago Sky later said that a wrist problem was to blame but did not elaborate on the precise injury or if she needs surgery.

Reese, 22, wrote: ‘What a year. 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.

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

Reese played Friday night for the Sky as they snapped their seven-game losing skid against Los Angeles Sparks.

Reese finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds for her rookie record 26th double-double of the season. And she made 9 of 15 shots with a 3-pointer and all five of her free throws.

Reese also spoke to the media for nearly 15 minutes after Friday’s victory and seemed in high spirits, making no mention of any injury.
