The past month hasn't exactly been plain sailing for Angel Reese. Before the New Year, Reese was surrounded in controversy after ‘disappearing' from her team in mysterious circumstances. What's more, her absence was accompanied by some cryptic Instagram posts which only convoluted the case even more.
Her return to the team didn't exactly make the noise go away either. Earlier this month, Reese was involved in a nasty incident with Missouri player Hayley Frank, appearing to throttle and then drag her to the floor.
The incident intensified the spotlight on the LSU star, provoking more speculation and debate over what there might be something up.
It's no surprise, then, that Reese has been taking some time for herself to unwind from the events of the past few weeks, and she's been spending some alone time with just her dog to relax.
The basketball star uploaded a story to her Instagram account in which she shares an intimate moment with her pet, that appears to ‘kiss' her as they chill together on the sofa.
Reese will want to make sure she's in the right frame of mind for LSU's next game against Texas A&M on Friday night and avoid any unwanted issues.
