Angel Reese could have waited, and played through pain. But that would likely come at a great cost, doctors warned.
So one of the top rookies from the 2024 draft decided surgery was the way to go.
Reese, the No. 7 pick by the Chicago Sky and the best rebounder in the league at 13.1 boards per game, announced Sunday that she would miss the remainder of the season.
The culprit: A hairline fracture in her left wrist that, if not treated immediately, could lead to a completely shattered bone.
