“I think it's worse than Kawhi” – Jason Whitlock said the angel was not injured but deliberately sat on the basketball network.
WNBA star Angel Reese has never played for the Chicago Sky since July 29. According to Sky, Rees is nursing a back injury. However, her team has not provided any information about Angel's timeline for hurt or providing her with a schedule.

ESPN and Fox sports analyst Jason Whitlock's injury blurred details, believing that the Angel was not injured and abandoned her WNBA squad.
“I think she resigned on the sky in Chicago. She has basically claimed back injury since the All-Star break and there is no detail. Every day, we hear that Angel Reese is daily, and every week there is no update on what she is doing, what she is doing, no updates. What I am doing. No information. I don't have any information on Angel Reese. I think she's having questions in this season. Whitlock said.
She played for 32 minutes on July 29 and just disappeared
Angels missed the last five games in the Sky, with no team 1-4 without her. Overall, Chicago has suffered an 8-23 breakout this season, and they are currently the last in the Eastern Conference and are third in the league.

Jason noted that Angel scored an impressive 10 games in 10 games, averaging 18.6 points, 14.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 shares (steal + blocks) per game while shooting 51% from the field, 82% from the foul line and 58% from the real field. Reese released a 32-minute 22-13-3 statistics series with Washington Mystics on July 29 and has not competed since.
“I came to this conclusion when I watched Indiana destroy the Chicago sky recently in Indianapolis. Guess who isn't there? Angel Reese. Angel Reese refused to go to Indianapolis, and her coach said something about her current recovery work and her current day job explains her day job. We never had the cause of back injuries, our time disappeared, our time was restored. He added.

Angel updates her identity in three words
Meanwhile, Reese recently posted “Proper Time” on her “X” account. Although she didn’t fly to Indianapolis with the team last weekend, Angel was a keen observer during practice in the sky last Monday and saw her teammates cheering for it. The Sky will play Connecticut Suns next Wednesday night, and it's interesting whether the forwards will play with the team.

Chicago is 1-10 in the last 11 games and at the end of its worst season since 2006, with 13 games left in 13 games, many wonder if Rees is closed or will fully recover for the rest of the year.
Whitlock has a valid point on asking Reese’s real questions, as it’s not clear what’s wrong with her back, but it’s unnecessary to raise Kawhi Leonard. However, Kawhi is notorious because they sit in the game to load management and prevent injuries rather than recovering from injuries, which could be the case with Angel.
