Angel Reese Out for Unrivaled Semifinals Due to Hand Injury

The Defensive Player of the Year will miss Sunday’s matchup, leaving the Rose without their star rebounder and defensive anchor.

Reese re-injured her surgically repaired left hand during the Rose's final regular-season game, ruling her out for the semifinals.
The Rose will also be without Kahleah Copper, who is sidelined with a right leg injury, further weakening the team’s lineup.
Reese led the league in rebounds and anchored the Rose's top-ranked defense, earning her the Defensive Player of the Year award on Saturday.
The Lunar Owls enter the playoffs as the top seed and heavy favorites, having maintained a fully healthy roster throughout the season.
The Unrivaled playoffs begin Sunday night, with the Rose facing the Laces and the Lunar Owls taking on the Vinyl; winners will advance to Monday’s championship game.
