Izzy just hasn’t been consistent this season is all. I’m glad she had such a good game last night. The team, overall, has been lackluster performance wise with Reese on the bench. That’s why she has one of the greatest +/- of any player in the league. I’m so excited for the Sky though!! They looked great last night. (Granted it was the worst team in the league right now, still.)

[@Tiarawatches]

I feel optimistic we can make the playoffs since we’re half a game in front of Atlanta. The main problem with Izzy has been her defense. Her offense has always been there as long as she can maintain at least average defense i think we can still make the playoffs. We’re gonna miss Angel against the harder teams but crossing my fingers

[@AndrewCampbellsports]

Angel Reese Will be Rookie Of The Year.

[@shernawilliams7758]

I was so shocked 😲 😯. I understood and her health come first i know next season is about to be greatness for Angel. 👌💪🙏🙏💯💯

[@1flash3571]

They are doing better WITHOUT her...Cordoza is BETTER for offense.

[@Tiarawatches]

⁠her name is Cardoso* first of all. Statistics show they are better with Angel so stop the narrative. Izzy is the one that stepped up actually. Milla only had 8 shots and scored 10points

[@Rocksteady_B._Bop]

Yeah!! Next year she'll make 30% of her layups!

[@shernawilliams7758]

@@Rocksteady_B._Bop I'm so sorry you having a sad life that you have to be little a 22 year old to feel better about yourself

@@Tiarawatches What Statistics???? The team LOOKED BETTER without AR. Stop Coping!!!

[@davidmathewson1088]

Caitlin Clark is making everyone forget about Angel Reese. And Angel Reese is making everyone forget about Angel Reese by quitting the season early.

Angel Reese Will Win Rookie Of The Year.

[@celebritykidsareus5399]

No she was not the first to announce the injury. Her team put it out one hour before she made her statement.

[@amarachidesi]

Yr 2 will be 🔥

[@marktaylor1799]

She is a great player but she needs to learn not to listent to social media, a good idea for everyone not just the famous.

[@ernestbalthazar6687]

Carmela will hold it down and they will make the playoffs

[@gnome963]

"derail" shoot the sky without AR will produce a cohesive team with an offence that niw can actually be competitive

[@AndrewCampbellsports]

Angel Reese Will Win Rookie Of The Year.

[@gnome963]

@@AndrewCampbellsports hi, she will not win however she is destined to win championships, break records, and become a hall of famer.

[@davidmathewson1088]

The Sky probably lose by 35 points instead of 31 points if Reese played. The Sky are bad with or without Reese. The Sky had just lost 7 games in a row with Reese in the lineup and were 9 games below .500 when she quit the team. The team is 1-1 without Reese. Obviously Reese is not a game changer.

[@enemroy]

Now the Sky can play team ball and focus on winning instead of records.

[@JaimeBocanegra-rg3hd]

Exactly

[@Tiarawatches]

They’ve always been focused on winning. If spoon cared about records she wouldn’t have taken Angel out when she was gonna have her 20/20 game. Stop the narratives and enjoy basketball

[@enemroy]

@@Tiarawatches I saw that game where Reese almost had 20/20 and you have no point. The ROTY race was dead by this time which was why TSpoon pulled her. Even all the betting websites removed it. As of August 26, Rookie of the Year odds appear to have been taken off the board at sportsbooks like DraftKings, FanDuel, and ESPN bet. BetMGM is one of the last remaining top sportsbooks that are still offering the ROTY, and currently have Clark listed as -10000 to secure the award

[@Tiarawatches]

@@enemroy what does roty have to do with anything🤨 we want to make the playoffs. That award was already decided before draft night and they had angel’s name in there just to drive views. Spoon has been experimenting with angels position since the last Seattle game and true sky fans knew there would be growing pains with pushing her on the perimeter. We’re a rebuilding team trying to make the playoffs so Dallas doesn’t take out draft pick. The aim is never individual accolades which has been echoed by the players and the organization all season. We dgaf what the media or betting websites think

Totally emotional for me im so sick ma so sick 😢❤❤❤🎉

The Sky are a funner team to watch without seeing bricks flung at the basket by Reese aka "Barbie Bricks". The Sky is also a better team without Reese because the team can more fully utilize its best big, Cardoso.

[@debbiebrown9625]

It's too much

[@suavean2647]

😢😢😢😢😢just found out 2day..Monday 🤮🤧😿😿

[@Somm_RJ]

By large, people are criticizing her overall skills, not her rebounding skills. You can’t put those 2 things together.

[@richard_M7116]

People are also criticising her for being injured😢

[@Somm_RJ]

@@richard_M7116 I was commenting based on the statements made on this video asking why she was criticized on her skills.

[@Somm_RJ]

@@AndrewCampbellsports Go bet on that online, you might get lucky and win 7x your bet. Good luck.

[@sleslie6395]

😂How can you say that she's out for the season when they're not saying the seriousness of the injury 🤔🤔. Any true athlete will want to still try and play at all costs even if it means taping it up. If she just tweaked her wrist you wouldn't say that you're done for the season😂. She has a wrist brace on not a cast. Plus, why the heck wouldn't the team announce her being done for the year? 😂. I beginning to realize why people haven't been watching the WNBA.

[@twellh]

Hairline fracture, it's public record. She's having surgery today, hard cast for 4weeks and soft cast for 2weeks. What's hard to understand about that?

[@paulsilas6037]

She is waiting for the playoffs..if Sky makes it, she will heal quick, if Sky doesn't make it, its not her fault cause she out with an injury 😕

[@AndrewCampbellsports]

Angel Reese Will be Rookie Of The Year.

[@davidmathewson1088]

The Sky is a better team without Angel Reese.

[@Steve-kr5ef]

"Angel Reese's injury won't derail Chicago Sky's playoff goals "?? Yes, we agree, lol

[@1flash3571]

These dummies at NBC, and other News Media thinks that they still Need AR...LOL

[@DAHBHONG022]

Hmmm, in TikTOK Miss AR wrapped her RIGHT Hand and then in the last game where she was in the sideline cheering, I saw shes wrapping her LEFT HAND? which is which? Right Wrist or LEFT or maybe BOTH?

[@DJKID03]

You do know when you are on TikTok the image is reversed. When you are taking a selfie, it is a mirrored image

[@josephbelix5207]

Also observed the wristband changing hands. Its all fake😅

[@Bluzmn]

They will likely play better with Cardoso having all those minutes.

[@leiannb.wrytes8893]

They don’t play the same position. Reese was never in her way. Cardosa’s minutes are limited because of foul trouble.

[@Somm_RJ]

@@leiannb.wrytes8893there’s only 1 ball. Regardless of position, an absence of 1 player affects another player.

[@focusedchick]

Kamilla had no more touches and fewer points with Angel out. Care to explain why? I can explain. Angel is one of the few players who actually throws the ball into Kamilla. You wouldn't know since you don't watch the games.

[@Rocksteady_B._Bop]

In fact, their chances of making the playoffs have improved now that they dont have to get Sid her 3 touches per possession and stand there wide open wgile she granny tosses balls up at rhe rim collecting mebounds

[@Qwerty098-y6d]

When the tumor was gone, the team played well....

[@natfluential]

They played well in her last game too and many other times this season.

[@DAHBHONG022]

It looks like the C. SKY Team underwent a major surgery and after the operation, it all goes well. like their last game??

[@AndrewCampbellsports]

Angel Reese Will be Rookie Of The Year.

[@highsouth7767]

She Is such a liar "God's plan Not mine"""" when your given the chance to still play and you Don't!! Don't bring God and lie on God when it is in FACT you're plan!!

[@twellh]

U don't ruin your career trying to play 1 more game. She's a rookie and has YEARS ahead of her. Wish her a successful recovery like I am😊

[@AndrewCampbellsports]

Angel Reese Will be Rookie Of The Year.

[@giftcardbill]

Reese being gone will enhance the team; She is one of those profiles that disrupts the harmony of a locker room. I would trade her but don't know what other team would want her; too much trouble; super distraction. If she stays away and they can keep carter out of trouble it will be a good thing. I'm a CC and Fever fan but calling a spade a spade.

[@JaimeBocanegra-rg3hd]

It's all B's she's doing that cuz she knows that's her excuse why she wasn't gonna win rookie of year against Caitlyn Clark she hit a three with an injury cmon she can hardly shoot injury would of made that impossible. This is just tactics
