In the realm of social media stardom, where selfies reign supreme and athletes double as influencers, Angel Reese knows how to make her presence felt. The Chicago Sky forward recently sent the internet into a mini-frenzy when she responded to DiJonai Carrington’s latest round of selfies on X (formerly known as Twitter) with just two words—”face cardddd😫😍.”
Yes, you read that right. Reese didn’t hold back when it came to praising Carrington’s photo game, and frankly, who could? The Connecticut Sun guard-forward had fans, followers, and now even fellow WNBA stars like Reese swooning over her four stunning selfies that lit up X like a championship trophy.
But let’s be real—this isn’t the first time Reese has shown love for Carrington’s social media moves. These two have exchanged compliments like it’s an Olympic sport, with Reese once again throwing in some emoji flair to match her succinct message of admiration.
On a side note, Reese’s affinity for Carrington might be a little distracting. Maybe that’s why her Chicago Sky team narrowly missed the playoffs this year. But hey, priorities, right?
The Award-Winning Glow-Up
Carrington didn’t just make waves with her selfies this season; she backed it up on the hardwood too. After a breakout year, Carrington earned the title of 2024 WNBA Most Improved Player. This isn’t some random accolade—it’s a real “I see you, sis” moment, with 28 out of 67 votes from a panel of sportswriters confirming that Carrington was balling out in ways we hadn’t seen before.
With a career-best stat line of 12.7 points, 5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, Carrington was a defensive beast and an offensive force. Her impressive shooting percentage of 40.3% from the field and 79.0% from the charity stripe proved that she was more than just pretty selfies. She’s the whole package.
As expected, Reese was right there in her notifications, sliding in with another heartfelt message: “so proud of you💋.” Cue the applause.
Injuries, Missed Playoffs, and a New Chapter
Let’s not forget Reese’s own season. Sure, she had the misfortune of injuring her wrist, cutting short what could have been an even more impactful campaign. Despite the injury, Reese still managed to put up 13.6 points and a whopping 13.1 rebounds per game, proving that even when she’s not 100%, she’s still better than most.
But alas, Reese’s efforts weren’t enough to drag Chicago into the postseason. The Sky narrowly missed the playoffs, losing the No. 8 seed in the final week of the regular season. Maybe they should have spent less time on social media and more time on defense?
New Coaches, New Beginnings
Both Carrington and Reese will be heading into the 2025 WNBA season with a clean slate—well, almost. They’ll both be adjusting to life under new head coaches. Reese’s Chicago Sky fired Teresa Weatherspoon after a less-than-stellar 13-27 season, bringing in Tyler Marsh to right the ship. Meanwhile, the Connecticut Sun parted ways with Stephanie White, who somehow managed to get snatched up by the Indiana Fever, leaving Carrington wondering who her next boss will be.
All in all, the 2025 season promises fresh starts, fresh selfies, and maybe—just maybe—a few more epic social media exchanges between these two WNBA stars. Until then, we’ll keep our eyes glued to their X pages. Who knows, maybe Reese will up the ante next time and respond with a three-word tweet.
After all, it’s all fun and games until someone wins a ring—or a retweet.
