Angel Reese might be out of the lineup due to her season-ending wrist injury, but nothing can stop the Chicago Sky rookie from coming and supporting her teammates. Reese showed up at the Wintrust Arena for the Sky's home game against the Dallas Wings on Sunday.

The Sky rookie wore a cropped top and blue joggers as she entered the arena. She also rocked a pigtail hairstyle that went below the waist. Moreover, Reese also carried a $1,839 Chanel bag (per Bagapurse.com) with a star dangling in the same brown color.

Reese was also wearing a protective wrist brace on her injured left hand.

The Sky won their first game of the season without Angel Reese as they defeated the Wings by 92-77, behind Chennedy Carter's 28-point game. Reese's fellow rookie Kamilla Cardoso also scored 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the game.

At 13-22, the Sky are in the eighth and final playoff spot in the league with five games remaining in the season. They are one game ahead of the Atlanta Dream in ninth spot. It will be interesting to see how the Sky fare without Angel Reese for the remainder of the season.

Angel Reese gives heartbreaking injury news to her fans on social media

Angel Reese's historic season came to an end after 34 games this season. The Chicago Sky rookie took to her social media to break the heartbreaking news to her fans.

Without specifically mentioning the locality of the injury, Reese wrote that she had proved her worth in the league and she wants to continue to do that. Moreover, she also wrote that she had big hopes for herself in the next season.

“I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season ending injury, but also filled with so much gratitude for what is next. Although this is God’s timing and not mine, I am finally able to give myself a physical and mental break. “God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.”

However, the Sky star said that she would continue to cheer for her team from the sideline.

“You’ll still see me being the biggest cheerleader on the sideline! And Unrivaled league, see you soon! 💞😇”
