"Happy 2K Day!": $1.7m NIL-valued Angel Reese rejoices as LSU forward crosses massive career milestone

Angel Reese entered an exclusive club of players as the LSU Tigers breezed past Tennesse Volunteers 75-60 on Sunday. With their sixth straight win, they are second in the South Eastern Conference.

Reese, a talented six-foot-three forward has been performing well this season. She's now part of an esteemed group of players to join the 2000 points club for LSU.

She's the sixth player from LSU to achieve this feat. After a roller coaster season featuring an unannounced absence, the $1.7 million NIL (according to On3) valued star is more than elated to be celebrating her career milestone, tweeting:

"Happy 2K Day! so blessed!"

She entered the elite club, which includes Sylvia Fowles, Cornelia Gayden, Julie Gross, Seimone Augustus and Joyce Walker, who hold the record for the most points scored in program history.

Reese has the opportunity to potentially surpass the school record of points set by Joyce Walker, as she still has another season of eligibility remaining due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, ESPN's projection indicates that she might choose to enter the 2024 WNBA Draft, where she's expected to be chosen in the first round.
