Angel Reese sent a scathing message to her haters on Instagram

The Chicago Sky suffered a painful loss on Sunday, falling to the Las Vegas Aces on a buzzer-beater courtesy of A’ja Wilson. The only silver lining for the Sky was Angel Reese bringing down 22 rebounds, marking the third straight game in which she’s grabbed at least 20. She’s the only WNBA player in history to accomplish that.  Despite the impressive string of performances to continue a fantastic rookie season, Reese continues to garner criticism from fans. The reason? Her low field goal percentage, which in turn leads to a lot of offensive rebounds.

Fans are using it as a way to discredit her big-time rebounding performances.

Angel Reese responds to haters following Sky’s loss to Aces

Reese absolutely deserves credit for her ability to rebound, both offensively and defensively. She plays a position where that is arguably her main responsibility. She may be getting a lot of offensive rebounds because she misses, but she’s still boxing out and getting those rebounds, which instead would be going to the other team.

if it was easy, everybody would be doing it. we good! #skytown

The Sky have lost three straight games and are on the edge of the WNBA playoff picture. They play the Washington Mystics next.
