LSU basketball star Angel Reese broke her silence over the weekend regarding her absence in response to speculation that has grown on social media.
The junior forward didn’t go into detail about her situation but advised fans to “not believe” everything that has been said about her on social media.
Reese didn’t travel with the team for their 73-50 victory over Southeastern Louisiana in Hammond.
On Monday night, she was once again absent as LSU hosted Texas Southern in Baton Rouge.
Prior to missing last Friday’s game against Southeastern, Reese was benched in the second half of the Lady Tigers’ 109-79 win over Kent State, a game she scored 11 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in before she was pulled.

After that game, LSU coach Kim Mulkey addressed the media on the subject of Reese’s absence, noting that she is still a member of the team and that she hopes she’ll be back on the court soon.
Returning as National Champions, LSU came into this season heavily under the microscope, particularly after adding the top two transfer portal players.
