After a reporter asked Angel Reese a non-basketball related question during a press conference, her teammate stepped in to defend her.

At just 23, Angel Reese is carrying more weight than most athletes twice her age. As a rising star in the WNBA and a social media powerhouse, her presence is impossible to ignore.

Reese’s worst game came in the Sky’s previous meeting with the Liberty, when she scored a season-low two points on 0-of-8 shooting in a 99-74 loss in Chicago. Jones blocked two of Reese’s shots in that May 22 game, while Stewart and Nyara Sabally blocked her once apiece.

Though Johnson says she and Reese are no longer friends, she acknowledged what the duo did together as teammates at LSU.
