Angel Reese explained why she wasn't close by when a scuffle broke out.
In the aftermath of LSU’s skirmish with South Carolina, Angel Reese provided an explanation on why she wasn’t involved and walked away.
In case you missed it, the women’s basketball SEC championship was a lot to unpack. The matchup, a highly anticipated basketball tug-of-war, was living up to the hype until an on-court dust-up threatened to derail the whole game. Afterward, multiple players were ejected, and that seemingly left everyone with a lot of feelings.
South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley apologized for her team’s involvement. However, LSU’s Kim Mulkey and Angel Reese delivered a much different message, seemingly doubling down and daring South Carolina — and anyone else for that matter — to come at them. Reese also took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that her status and a rolled ankle were the reasons she was not involved in the incident, and then she voiced her support for LSU.
As a person at my STATUS, sometimes you have to walk away from certain situations. Mind you the play before that I had rolled my ankle AGAIN and was already walking to the bench. I ALWAYS ride for mine. I’m super proud of this team & super excited for march. #geauxtigers
