Avast ye mateys! The captain o' LSU, Kim Mulkey, be spillin' the beans on Friday, sayin' that Angel Reese be not sailin' with the team, but be keepin' mum 'bout the reason. Ahoy!
In a surprising turn of events, Angel Reese, a player for LSU's women's basketball team, was absent from their recent game against Southeastern Louisiana. Just days prior, she had been benched in the second half of a game against Kent State, a decision that was described as a "coach's decision" with no further explanation provided by head coach Kim Mulkey.Reese, who had started in LSU's first four games and had impressive stats, including an average of 17 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, was notably not in uniform for the game against Southeastern Louisiana. When questioned about Reese's absence, Mulkey only offered a vague response, expressing hope for her return and refusing to provide further details.
While rumors of a possible suspension for Reese have circulated, LSU has not confirmed this. OutKick, a sports news outlet, reached out to Reese's agent, Jeanine Ogbonnaya, who claimed to have limited information on the situation.
In addition to the on-court drama, tensions have also arisen between the mothers of players on the team, including Reese and Flau'jae Johnson. Reese's mother, Angel Webb Reese, criticized Johnson on Instagram, leading to a heated exchange between the two mothers.
Despite the controversies surrounding her, Reese remains a prominent figure in women's college basketball. Nicknamed the "Bayou Barbie," she played a key role in leading LSU to their first national title last season. She also boasts lucrative endorsement deals, making her one of the highest-earning female college athletes.
Reese's absence from the team and the lack of official information from LSU has left fans and observers eagerly awaiting further updates.
