If youâve been anywhere near WNBA Twitter this week, you already know â Angel Reese is the conversation.
Sheâs bold. Sheâs dominant. Sheâs racking up double-doubles like itâs a daily habit. And sheâs quickly become one of the most talked-about names in the league â not just because of her game, but because of the energy and attention she brings wherever she goes.
So when the WNBA All-Star starters were officially announced on Monday, fans naturally expected to see her name in lights. But then…
Silence.
No Angel Reese.
No mention.
Just a wave of confusion, anger, and disbelief flooding social media.
âHow is Angel not a starter?â
âSheâs carried her team, carried ratings, and carried the leagueâs visibility!â
âIf this isnât enough, what is?â
