Angel Reese skips WNBA all-star event for Summer League game

While it’s unclear how the Summer League game contributed to Reese’s earnings, her comments shed light on the financial aspects of the WNBA and the need for supplemental income.

Although her decision garnered attention, Reese’s absence at the All-Star event in Arizona did not go unnoticed, especially as other WNBA stars like Caitlin Clark attended.

Reese posted selfies from the game on Instagram and also tweeted about the experience, including interactions with other attendees.

Despite the controversy, Reese’s on-court performance has been impressive, with 17 double-doubles in the Sky’s first 24 games.

It remains to be seen when Reese will join her All-Star teammates in Arizona, but her strong performance on the court has earned her a spot in the game.

Clark, who attended the events, expects Reese to shine on the court during the All-Star game, particularly in rebounding.

“She’s certainly probably going to lead the game in rebounds,” Clark said of Reese. “I expect that out of her, that’s just what she does.”
