Angel Reese was back in action on Saturday when Rose Basketball Club squared off against Mist Basketball Club in Unrivaled. The Chicago Sky superstar started alongside Chelsea Gray and Lexie Hull as Rose BC aimed for their sixth consecutive win.
The one-time WNBA All-Star started the game strong but struggled to maintain her first-half momentum in the second half due to foul trouble. Reese lost her rhythm and flow as the game progressed, forced to spend extended periods on the bench after committing four fouls early on.
Reese finished the game with eight points on 4 of 10 shooting from the floor, including 0 of 1 from beyond the arc, and 0 of 2 from the charity stripe. She recorded 13 rebounds and one block in 18 minutes.
