Angel Reese announced a massive injury update regarding her wrist, which ruled her out of the 2025 Unrivaled playoffs. During the final regular season game of the 3x3 league on Mar. 7, Reese injured the same wrist, which required surgery in September and ended her WNBA season with six games left.
Reese was ruled out of the semifinal and final matchups on Sunday and Monday. However, that didn't impact her team as expected, as they went on to win the championship and the $50,000 prize money. Reese wasn't with the team but was active online after the game.
The Sky star announced the latest on her wrist issue after fans bombarded her with injury-related questions on Instagram Live. Reese replied in the comments, saying:

"my wrist is FINE. don't ask again."
Angel Reese had a stellar Unrivaled debut. She won the Defensive Player of the Year award and was named to the second-team All-Unrivaled. Reese averaged 13.3 points and 12.1 rebounds, leading the Rose BC to an 8-6 record (second in the league).
Angel Reese sends a strong message after Unrivaled win
Angel Reese sent a strong message to naysayers after her team won the inaugural Unrivaled season. Reese showed massive improvement in her game, especially offensively. She worked closely with her teammate Kahlea Copper and WNBA legend Lisa Leslie during the tournament.
With that in mind and her Unrivaled accolades against veteran WNBA rivals, Reese warned everyone of what was to come in his second season.
"Year 2. Talk soon," Reese tweeted.
Reese had a historic rookie season with her rebounding and double-double records. However, with a 39.1% shooting average, she failed to impress many. The Sky also didn't make the playoffs, while Reese watched her rival, Caitlin Clark, make her postseason debut, and that potentially sparked the fire in the Sky star to do well next season.
After adding to her offensive skillset, Angel Reese has shown her potential as a two-way threat. She has another month and a half to continue developing her game ahead of the new WNBA season, so she can potentially be much better than she was in Unrivaled.
