Angel Reese is not here for TikTok’s fortune-telling antics, and honestly, who can blame her? After a historic rookie season in the WNBA, the Chicago Sky star had a few choice words for a TikTok filter that dared to predict her 2025. Spoiler alert: It didn’t foresee basketball greatness but instead suggested emojis of a bride, two peaches, and a beach. The audacity.
“Just pissed me off,” Reese captioned her TikTok post, clearly not amused. Because, let’s face it, Angel Reese’s agenda doesn’t involve walking down the aisle or lounging on a beach sipping piña coladas anytime soon.
Angel Reese’s 2024 Was No Peach Emoji
Reese didn’t just “belong” in the WNBA this year; she bulldozed her way into it. After being selected seventh overall by the Chicago Sky, she promptly set records and silenced doubters faster than a fast break. In her rookie season alone, she smashed:
- Most consecutive double-doubles: 15
- Most rookie double-doubles: 26
- Most rebounds in a season by a WNBA player: 446
- Most offensive rebounds: 172
If that wasn’t enough, Reese put up a solid 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, cementing her as a force to be reckoned with on the court. And while her team’s 13-27 record wasn’t exactly headline-grabbing, Reese’s individual performance certainly was.
But as with any great rookie story, there was a twist. Reese’s season ended prematurely due to a wrist injury, leaving Chicago Sky fans wondering what might have been.
The TikTok Debacle: Why Angel Isn’t Here for It
So, why did a few emojis spark Reese’s ire? Maybe it’s because the prediction—full of matrimonial and tropical clichés—felt wildly out of touch with her trajectory. Here’s a woman setting records, defying expectations, and taking names, only to have an app tell her she’s destined for “vacation mode.”
Sure, the filter probably meant no harm, but Reese’s reaction was a reminder that her 2025 is likely to look a lot more like backboards and buzzer-beaters than bouquets and bikinis.

Despite the wrist injury, Reese ended her rookie season on a high note—metaphorically speaking, of course. Her final basket? A three-pointer that had her joking about showing off for Year 2.
“What a year. I never would have imagined the last bucket of my rookie season would be a 3, but maybe that was God saying give them a taste of what they will be seeing more of in Year 2,” Reese quipped on X (formerly Twitter).
She didn’t stop there, adding:
“All I’ve ever wanted was to come into the W and make an impact. I can confidently say I’ve done that and will strive to keep doing so. I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season-ending injury, but also so much gratitude for what is next… You’ll still see me being the biggest cheerleader on the sideline! And Unrivaled league, see you soon!”
What’s Next for Angel Reese?
With the Unrivaled League tipping off in January, Reese isn’t slowing down anytime soon. She’ll be back in action, wrist healed, ready to prove that her rookie season was just the beginning.
So, TikTok filters, take note: Angel Reese’s 2025 isn’t about weddings and beaches—it’s about records, rebounds, and relentless hustle. And if that makes you mad, well, you can take it up with the scoreboard.
