The strange sequence started Tuesday, when Reese scored 11 points in 13 minutes against Kent State but didn’t play across the final two quarters due to a coach’s decision, according to LSU head coach Kim Mulkey.
But three days later, when Reese didn’t even travel with the team for their game, her status took a strange turn.
“You want me to explain why? It’s very obvious Angel was not in uniform,” Mulkey said postgame Friday. “Angel is a part of this basketball team and we hope to see her sooner than later.”
LSU, which won the national title last season behind Reese and entered 2023-24 as contenders again, lost its opener to then-No. 20 Colorado before winning its past five games.
Reese sits at No. 7 on On3.com’s NIL 100 at $1.7 million, trailing only Colorado football star Travis Hunter, USC quarterback Caleb Williams, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders and USC basketball freshman — and LeBron James’ son — Bronny James.
LSU hosts Texas Southern on Monday, and at this point, it’s unclear if Reese will return to the lineup.
