Medical team advised the rookie player to undergo surgery to take precaution for arthritis. The 7th pick overall in 2024 draft decided to follow the recovery process and the Chicago Sky shut her down for the remainder of the season. <\/p><p>Reese recently hosted rapper GloRilla in her podcast show, &lsquo;Unapologetically Angel.&rsquo; During the season, she also attended NFL games and music concerts multiple times. Reese will silence all the claims in pre-season if she gets recover on time. She has started preparation through the Unrivaled League. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Angel Reese&rsquo;s power tussle with the WNBA?<\/h2><p>Angel Reese is currently having a tussle with the WNBA and she has already issued a threat to the league on CBA which is coming up in 2025 season.
