A report claiming Angel Reese fought an unnamed teammate while with the LSU Tigers has surfaced ahead of her highly anticipated rematch with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.

The rookie is one of the most popular athletes in the United States and will go down as an all-time great for the Lady Tigers, having led them to a national title last year. However, a Washington Post article (H/T USA Today) revealed that Reese fought a teammate in front of visiting recruits, and LSU head coach Kim Mulkey covered it up.

According to reporter Kent Babb, one of his sources witnessed the altercation, and it led to a meeting in which players were not allowed to have their cell phones.

“This [meeting] was after a fight involving Angel Reese, witnessed by one of my sources, that occurred in front of visiting recruits,” Babb noted, although he never published an article on Mulkey as intended after she threatened legal action.

“One of these individuals present in the team meeting shared that Mulkey said: ‘This entire locker room is trash.’”

The Report Of Angel Reese’s Fight At LSU Remains Unconfirmed

Other publications have been unable to confirm a fight or a meeting, but the Post has said it “stands by Kent Babb and his reporting.”

The incident and the meeting it prompted are believed to have occurred in 2022, before Angel Reese rose to popularity by beating Iowa in the national championship game in 2023.

Reese has since moved up to the WNBA while Mulkey remains LSU head coach and still has players on her roster who won the title last year.

We expect more on this in the coming days, but Reese and LSU have so far declined to comment.

“People Forget He’s a Rookie”- Luka Doncic Eases Expectations on Dereck Lively II Following Game 4 Performance

The Dallas Mavericks had the last opportunity to remain in the NBA Finals, and they made the most of it by snatching a 122-84 win in Game 4 over the Boston Celtics. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving mostly looked after the offense. However, they needed a third player who would come through to make an impact. The player was none other than Mavs rookie Dereck Lively II. His outstanding performance earned him praise from the franchise’s superstar.

During the post-game press conference, Doncic’s face lit up when asked to share his thoughts about Lively. Praising his teammate for the double-double contribution, the Slovenian said, “I think people forget he’s a rookie doing this stuff. He’s been amazing the whole season, just watching him grow has been unbelievable.”

Friday night was the first time since mid-November last year that Lively attempted a shot from behind the 3-point arc. But when Doncic passed him the ball, the 7-foot-1 center could hold himself back and shot a marvelous bucket from the deep. He finished the night with 11 points and 12 rebounds by shooting 4-of-5 from the floor.

However, his on-court performance helped the Mavs maintain their supremacy in the game, and his off-court actions also benefitted the team.

During the game, Luka Doncic appeared more focused and wasn’t seen arguing with the game officials about any decision. The secret behind this was Dereck Lively’s pep talk to the five-time All-Star.
