"Actually, that food looks disgusting on your page. Now I'm complaining, boo," she wrote in reply to a hater who trolled her for complaining and suggested her to work on her lay ups and five-foot jump shots.
"Idgaf. Next," Reese wrote in reply to a hater who had a problem with her because her character made their team lose in NBA 2k.
Reese played a significant role in helping Rose BC win the Unrivaled tournament despite not playing in the championship game due to a left wrist injury. Rose BC defeated Vinyl BC 62–54 as Brittney Sykes recorded 21 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Angel Reese and the rest of her Rose BC teammates received $50,000 each for winning the Unrivaled tournament. That's a huge sum, considering how much they make participating in the WNBA.
However, Reese openly expressed her dissatisfaction with how much she made in the W. Her $50,000 prize was more than half of what she earned during her rookie season, $73,439 according to Spotrac.
“I'm sorry to break it to you but I’m on a rookie contract & that 50k was a little more than half of my contract, so I have to keep that to myself…. Sorry,” Reese said, vis TMZ Sports. “Give me a few years and i gotchu. be well.”
Reese in her rookie season averaged 13.6 ppg, 13.1 rpg and 1.9 apg with the Sky. She earned a place in the 2024 WNBA All-Star and created a strong rivalry with Indiana Fever Caitlin Clark.
The Sky begin the 2025 season with a game against the Indiana Fever on May 17. The game will tip-off at 1 p.m. EST.
