Angel Reese took to social media to explain her season-ending wrist injury. The Chicago star rookie has a small crack in a bone in her left wrist and she’ll have surgery to repair it Tuesday. Reese says she’ll be in a hard cast for four weeks and then a soft cast for two. Reese, the No. 7 pick in the draft, finished the season averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds. It’s the highest rebound average in the history of the WNBA. Reese also set the rookie record with 26 double-doubles — her last coming in a 92-78 win over Los Angeles on Friday night.
