*If you’ve been following the Angel Reese saga the last few days you know she has been somewhat MIA. Literally and figuratively.
Well, that kinda sorta changed today when Reese, who became a bonafide star when the Tigers won the NCAA tournament in April, went to X (Twitter) and posted six words that essentially said something and nothing at the same time
“Please don’t believe everything you read,” is what she wrote.
Now for those that haven’t been following the drama, Reese was sent to the bench in the second half of LSU’s game against Kent State on Tuesday, and she didn’t play Friday against Southeastern Louisiana.
please don’t believe everything you read.

Her X post follows one she made on her IG story just 24 hours earlier where she added a photo of an LSU court with a cart filled with basketballs, the NY Post reported. Again, we’re left guessing her intent because there was no context provided. Maybe it meant she was practicing with the team. Maybe.
After not playing in the Tigers game at Southeastern Louisiana, head coach Kim Mulkey was asked about the “Bayou Barbie” but she, too, didn’t have much to say.
“It’s very obvious Angel was not in uniform,” was Mulkey’s response. She did add this, “Angel is a part of this basketball team and we hope to see her sooner than later.”
Since her answer wasn’t quite satisfying, Mulkey was asked again about Reese, and said, “I’m not gonna answer anymore. That’s it. That’s all you need to know.”

There’s also been social media speculation that Reese’s suspension (if she is actually suspended from the team) is because of a low GPA.
Angel Reese has been suspended…it’s being alleged that’s it due to a low GPA. The speculation began when Angel Reese’s mom and Flau’jae’s mom started reportedly beefing on social media:
“You definitely know about grammar errors when your daughter has a 2.0 or less GPA”

Before whatever happened to make her persona non-grata, at least for a while, Reese had started LSU’s first four games of the new season. The Tigers lost the season opener to Colorado, but have since gone 3-1. So far this season she’s averaging 17 points and 10.3 rebounds. Compare that with 23 points and 15.4 rebounds per game last season.
LSU has another game Monday evening when they host Texas Southern. We’ll just have to wait and see if Angel Reese (the “Bayou Barbie”) will be on the floor.
