Angel Reese Loses Bet and Faces Injury Setback

WNBA star Angel Reese lost a $100,000 bet to NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal after challenging him to make a free throw, which he successfully did despite his historically low free-throw shooting percentage. The bet was made during a casual meetup in a gym, likely in Reese's hometown of Baltimore, where the two were filming content together. Despite her successful college career and endorsements, including a deal with Reebok where O'Neal serves as President of Basketball, Reese's rookie WNBA season was cut short due to a wrist injury. O'Neal, at 52, demonstrated his enduring basketball skills, further solidifying his mentorship role to Reese, who has become a prominent figure in women's basketball. Reese, valued at approximately $1.8 million through NIL deals, continues to build her career amidst her injury recovery and upcoming participation in the Unrivaled League.
