LSU star Angel Reese has not been seen with the Tigers in the Cayman Islands

Associated Press  

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands — LSU star Angel Reese has not been seen with the seventh-ranked and defending national champion Tigers at the Cayman Islands Classic basketball tournament. When asked about Reese’s absence in the Cayman Islands, LSU women’s basketball spokesman Grant Kauvar said the university is deferring to coach Kim Mulkey on matters involving the 2022-23 All-America forward. Reese, who is one of the most popular and commercially successful players in her sport, has missed LSU’s previous two games against Texas Southern on Monday and Southeastern Louisiana last Friday for undisclosed reasons. “It’s really a time where we can bond as a team and have fun and go to the beach, but also play basketball and get things done.” Mulkey said some players and coaches had family members traveling to the islands to watch the games, and that they will celebrate Thanksgiving together.
