LSU star Angel Reese has found herself in the middle of swirling rumors regarding the legitimacy of a recent injury that sidelined her for part of the season. Social media has been ablaze with claims that the injury was faked, with critics suggesting Reese was using it as an excuse for inconsistent performance. However, the basketball phenom has now responded, and she’s not holding back.
In an emotional interview, Reese addressed the accusations head-on, dismissing the claims as baseless. “I’m tougher than anyone gives me credit for,” she said. “I’ve played through pain before, and I don’t need to fake an injury for any reason. I love this game too much.”
Reese’s response comes after weeks of speculation that her absence from a key game was more strategic than health-related. The 6’3″ forward, known for her dominant performances and fiery personality on the court, made it clear that her dedication to the team is unquestionable.
“I don’t need sympathy. I play to win, and anyone questioning my toughness doesn’t know me,” Reese continued. “I’m not here to fake it, I’m here to compete.”
Teammates and coaching staff have backed up Reese, praising her commitment and work ethic. “Angel is the heart of our team,” one teammate said. “She pushes through challenges most players would struggle with.”
Despite the controversy, Reese’s focus remains on leading her team through another strong season, proving that actions on the court will always speak louder than words off of it.
