Kim Mulkey and Angel Reese may have had their differences at LSU at certain points, but the coach posted a heartfelt goodbye to the star after Reese declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft.
After Reese was taken by the Chicago Sky to pair her with Kamilla Cardoso, cameras caught Kim Mulkey going up to Reese and giving her a huge hug that lasted a few seconds, followed by Mulkey pointing out something or someone(s) in the crowd who cheered.
Reese looked a little emotional in the moment, which made sense after hearing her name called and getting that greeting from her college coach:
