LSU Star Angel Reese Absent from Cayman Islands Tournament
Coach Kim Mulkey remains tight-lipped about the All-America forward's recent absences from games.
- LSU star Angel Reese has not been seen with the seventh-ranked and defending national champion Tigers at the Cayman Islands Classic basketball tournament.
- Reese, who is one of the most popular and commercially successful players in her sport, has missed LSU's previous two games against Texas Southern on Monday and Southeastern Louisiana last Friday for undisclosed reasons.
- While her teammates were traveling on Wednesday, Reese posted a video of herself on social media in which she looked at the camera while an audio clip played of Deion Sanders saying, 'What about me would make you think that I care about your opinion of me?'
- Mulkey, a four-time national championship-winning and Hall-of-Fame coach, has declined to go into detail about why Reese has not been with the team lately.
- Since last season, when Reese led LSU to a national title, she has appeared in numerous national advertising campaigns and accumulated endorsement opportunities worth more than $1 million, including with Reebok.
