Angel Reese echoed Ja Morant’s tunnel celebration with a cryptic message

As Angel Reese continues to ramp up her production from her four-game absence earlier this year, she’s seemingly taking inspiration from some of Ja Morant’s recent words.

A lot has happened at LSU since the college basketball season tipped off on November 6. The team lost its first game, and then shortly after, Reese was benched. Head coach Kim Mulkey didn’t provide much explanation before Reese valiantly returned four games later for what she said was a mental reset.

(Then, Reese’s teammate, Kateri Poole, was inexplicably removed from the team. Wild times. We’re still not sure what happened.)

Ultimately, LSU has been cruising since Reese has been back in the lineup, and the “Bayou Barbie” even recently earned Athlete of the Year honors. Yet, she’s seemingly keeping a watchful eye on everything that’s been happening around her, evoking shades of Ja Morant’s words with a recent post to her social media.
