The strange drama surrounding the LSU Tigers women’s basketball team continued on Friday night as star player Angel Reese was nowhere to be found during the team’s game against SE Louisiana.
Just one game ago, things seemed to hit a boiling point at LSU, as Reese was benched by head coach Kim Mulkey during a game against Kent State. Meanwhile, off the court, Reece’s mother was making headlines of her own by engaging in some online beef with the mother of Angel’s LSU teammate, Flau’jae Johnson.
It seems like this issue hasn’t blown over, either, as Angel was completely absent during LSU’s 73-50 win over SE Louisiana on Friday night.
This latest bit of drama has sparked massive speculation, as it has left many wondering whether Reese was disciplined for her actions or perhaps even kicked off the team altogether.
Mulkey was asked about Reese’s whereabouts after the game, but her answer didn’t divulge much information.

Based on Mulkey’s answer, it sounds like Reese is still a member of the Tigers’ basketball team. Whether it was her decision to stay away from the team or the coach’s, however, remains a mystery.
LSU’s next game is on Monday against Texas Southern. We’ll see if Angel Reese is back in the lineup for that contest.
