A real earthquake has just broken out in the international basketball world. Angel Reese — a promising young star, the face expected to become a new symbol of the WNBA and the world of basketball — could not hold back her tears at a recent press conference when she revealed that her mother was battling a dangerous disease.
A PAINFUL MOMENT
In a choked moment, Reese spoke while crying, making the audience silent:
“I tried to be strong… but today, I can’t hide it anymore. My mother is facing a very serious disease, and we don’t know what the future holds.”
Those words were like a knife stabbing into the hearts of fans. Familiar with the image of Angel Reese as strong, confident and charismatic on the court, the audience had never seen her collapse like that.
FANS ARE STUNNING
Within minutes of the clip going viral, social media exploded. The hashtag #PrayForReese trended, with millions of comments sending their support and well wishes to her family.
One fan wrote: “Angel, you have inspired us. We are here for you and your mother now.”
Another choked up: “Pray for a miracle for her mother. No one deserves this pain.”
A LEGACY IS BUILDING, A TRAGEDY STROKE STARTS
Reese is just starting her professional career, but has already left a deep mark with her explosive play, strong personality and the pride of a future star. Now, at the height of her fame, she faces the biggest challenge of her life — not on the court, but in a real-life battle for survival.
A BLURRY FUTURE
The Reese family has not yet released details about her mother’s illness. This has further fueled public curiosity and raised concerns: Will Angel be able to continue playing, or will she take a break from the court to be with her mother?
Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: the basketball world will never look at Angel Reese the same way again.
