Angel Reese explains why she did not defend her teammates following brawl during the SEC tournament championship game.
While playing against South Carolina, the LSU Tigers was seen running to defend player Flau’jae Johnson as some sort of melee took place. However, Angel Reese was seening walking in the opposite direction, avoiding the conflict.
Following the incident, Reese faced a lot of backlash online for not defending her teammates. She took to Twitter to explain her side of the situation. She explains, “as a person at my STATUS, sometimes you have to walk away from certain situations,” Reese wrote.
“Mind you the play before that I had rolled my ankle AGAIN and was already walking to the bench. I ALWAYS ride for mine. I’m super proud of this team & super excited for March.”
