LSU star Angel Reese sustained an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against Auburn.

With LSU leading 71-37 with under seven minutes left, Reese accidentally stepped on an Auburn player's foot, twisting her right ankle in the process. She hopped off towards the bench to get treatment, and was later seen working out on a stationary bike.

Reese, who has an NIL valuation of $1.7 million (according to On3), appeared unconcerned about her injury in a postgame interview with Brooke Weisbrod of SEC Network.

“I’m feeling good. It’s okay, I roll my ankle all the time, so it’s fine,” Reese said.

Reese posted her 21st double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds as LSU charged to a 78-48 win.

“Should I stay, should I go? I don’t know,” Reese wrote on X last month.
