*LSU star forward Angel Reese will rejoin the LSU Tigers for Thursday night’s game against Virginia Tech.
Due to undisclosed reasons, Reese has missed four games, prompting rumors and speculation on social media. The Washington Post reports that Coach Kim Mulkey said Reese will play in the home game when the Tigers face off with Virginia Tech on Nov. 30.
We reported previously that Reese became a bonafide star when the Tigers won the NCAA tournament in April. She was sent to the bench in the second half of LSU’s game against Kent State earlier this month, and she didn’t play in the match-up against Southeastern Louisiana.
According to multiple reports, the young athlete had been suspended due to a low GPA, per KPEL965.com. On X/Twitter, Reese addressed this rumor, writing, “Please don’t believe everything you read.”
Reese’s alleged GPA-related suspension was revealed when her mother, Angel Reese Webb, criticized LSU player Flau’jae Johnson’s poor grammar on social media. Johnson’s mother, Kia Brooks, clapped back, Outkick reports.
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 got a 2.0-or-less grade point average,” Brooks wrote on Instagram. “Stop being petty, fake and hateful, and take responsibility for you and your daughter’s actions.”
Mulkey cited “locker room issues” as why Reese had not been with the team for the past two weeks.
“You always have to deal with locker room issues,” Mulkey told reporters on Nov. 20, per The Washington Post. “… That’s just what coaches do. Sometimes you don’t know about it.
“Sometimes you want to know more than you’re entitled to know. I’m going to protect my players, always,” the coach said. “They are more important. It’s like a family. If you do some disciplining of your own children, do you think you’re entitled to know that?”
When asked if Reese would return to the team, Mulkey said, “You’re not entitled to that information, okay?” and added, “…Angel will be back sooner than later.”
