In a lengthy statement on social media, Reese expressed both gratitude and disappointment. "What a year. I never would have imagined the last bucket of my rookie season would be a 3 but maybe that was God saying give them a taste of what they will be seeing more of in Year 2 lol," she wrote.
Despite the setback, Reese emphasized her determination to continue making an impact in the WNBA. "Through it all, I have showed that I belong in this league even when no one else believed.
