Angel Reese to Miss Unrivaled Semifinal After Reinjuring Left Hand
The Defensive Player of the Year’s status for the championship game remains uncertain as Unrivaled playoffs begin Sunday.
- Angel Reese, star forward for Rose BC, will not play in Sunday's Unrivaled semifinal due to a left hand injury sustained in the regular-season finale.
- Reese had surgery on the same hand in September, which ended her rookie WNBA season early with the Chicago Sky.
- She was named Unrivaled Defensive Player of the Year on Saturday after leading the league in rebounds (12.1 per game) and anchoring Rose’s top-ranked defense.
- Reese made history this season with the first 20-20 game in Unrivaled, recording 22 points and 21 rebounds in a win over the Lunar Owls.
- The Unrivaled semifinals and championship game will air on TNT, truTV, and Max, with Reese’s availability for Monday's final still unclear.
