Angel Reese Posts Curious Message After Losing WNBA ROTY to Caitlin Clark
Chicago Sky star Angel Reese recently took to social media, sharing an intriguing message with fans just days after she lost the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year race to Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.
Reese finished second to Clark for the Rookie of the Year award. The Fever star earned 66 first-place votes, while the Sky forward earned one first-place vote.
The 22-year-old WNBA star has been active on social media after the announcement but has yet to comment on the final Rookie of the Year selection.
On Saturday, Reese mentioned that there’s a lot on her mind, but right now, she’s minding her business.
“I really just be minding my business cause it’s a lot to mind,” Reese said.
Reese shared this message to over 637k followers on X. She has a strong following on social media, with over eight million combined followers on Instagram, TikTok and X.
Reese finished her rookie season with the Sky averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. Her season was cut short with just a few games left on the schedule due to a season-ending wrist injury, but she still made her mark in 34 games with Chicago.
The WNBA All-Star led the league in average rebounds and was the only rookie to average a double-double.

In Clark’s rookie season with the Fever, she averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game. The first-year star led the WNBA in average assists and led the rookie class in both points and assists.
She also helped Indiana clinch a spot in the WNBA playoffs for the first time since 2016.
While the Fever were bounced in the first round after getting swept by the Connecticut Sun, a 20-20 season with the No. 6 seed in the WNBA standings is certainly a progression for Indiana after they finished the 2023 season with a 13-27 record.
