30 Minutes Ago: WNBA Announces Crippling Wrist Injury Update on Angel Reese Just Days Before New Season Begins – “We’re Sorry to Announce That Reese Will Be Unable to…” See More
The basketball world has been shaken to its core — and fans are struggling to process the devastating news that broke just 30 minutes ago.
In a move no one expected, the WNBA issued a formal injury report confirming that Angel Reese, the league’s most electric rookie, is now dealing with what officials are calling a “crippling wrist injury” — just days before the highly anticipated new season tips off.
What was supposed to be a season of dominance and headlines for the Chicago Sky star has now been clouded in uncertainty… and concern.
A Sudden Announcement That Left Everyone Stunned
Early this morning, the WNBA’s official account dropped a clinical but chilling statement:
“We regret to inform fans that Angel Reese has sustained a significant wrist injury during a recent closed-door training session. Medical evaluations are ongoing, but initial reports indicate the injury may affect her ability to participate at the start of the 2025 season.”
The statement ended with an unfinished bombshell:
“We’re sorry to announce that Reese will be unable to…”
(The rest of the message was cut off on social platforms, leading to wild speculation.)
Within minutes, the internet erupted.
What is she unable to do?
Miss the opener? Sit out the entire season? Is surgery on the table?
What Really Happened Behind Closed Doors?
Sources close to the team say the injury occurred during a high-intensity scrimmage, where Reese reportedly collided midair with another teammate while chasing down a fast break. According to one anonymous staff member:
“It didn’t look too serious at first, but when she landed, she immediately grabbed her wrist and didn’t get up for a few minutes. You could tell she was in pain.”
Angel, known for her toughness and relentless energy, was said to have tried to “walk it off” — but staff quickly pulled her from the court. Medical staff were seen wrapping her wrist in ice as she was quietly escorted out a back tunnel, away from cameras
Angel Breaks Her Silence
Just moments after the WNBA’s statement, Angel Reese finally spoke out via Instagram Stories. Her message?
“This ain’t the end. I’ve been down before — and I came back louder. Don’t count me out.”
The post included a boomerang video of her hand in a thick black brace — but no smile. No dance. No playful filters. Just silence and strength.
Fans were quick to rally behind her.
#PrayForAngel trended within 15 minutes.
WNBA rival Caitlin Clark even reposted the story, writing:
“The league needs her. Praying for a quick recovery, Queen.”
A Blow to the League — and Women’s Basketball at Large
This injury doesn’t just impact Angel Reese — it hits the entire league.
Reese was projected to be one of the biggest draws of the 2025 WNBA season, with ticket sales, TV deals, and endorsements all banking on her popularity and on-court presence. The Chicago Sky had already seen a massive rise in season ticket sales, largely due to the “Bayou Barbie” effect.
“She’s a movement, not just a player,” one ESPN analyst said during the emergency segment aired just an hour ago. “This is a gut punch to fans, to the league, to everyone who wanted to see her take the court opening night.”
What Happens Now?
As of now, there is no official timeline for her return. Sources say doctors will re-evaluate her wrist within the next 48 hours, and if swelling doesn’t reduce, surgery may be required.
That outcome would likely mean missing several weeks — or worse, the majority of the season.
The Chicago Sky organization has asked for “patience and privacy” during her recovery, while insiders hint the team is already exploring temporary replacements.
But let’s be clear: there is no replacing Angel Reese.
One Final Twist…
In a cryptic post just moments ago, Angel shared a black screen with white text that read:
“Sometimes setbacks are setups for something bigger. Trust me — I’m not done yet.”
So what’s next?
We don’t know how long she’ll be out.
We don’t know if she’ll return this season.
But one thing we do know?
Angel Reese may be down — but she’s never out.
Stay tuned. This story is far from over.
