Angel Reese enjoys Baltimore homecoming as WNBA star cheers on Ravens – after missing out on Rookie of the Year to rival Caitlin Clark

Angel Reese continued to enjoy her free time away from the WNBA as she made an appearance at M&T Bank Stadium Sunday. 

Reese and the Chicago Sky failed to make the WNBA postseason, finishing 13-27 and one spot shy of the playoffs, but the rookie still couldn’t stay away from the sporting spotlight. 

The Baltimore native cheered on her hometown Ravens as Lamar Jackson and co. took on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football.

The Sky star attended the NFL game with her brother and posed with a custom Ravens jersey on the sidelines. 

Reese was even spotted greeting Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who approached her on the sideline ahead of the action kicking off.

The 22-year-old wasn’t the only WNBA star to soak up the NFL action Sunday as rival Caitlin Clark was also in attendance. 

Clark received a warm ovation when she was featured on the video board at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday.

The Indiana Fever rookie sensation was enjoying the Steelers-Colts game and set the NFL crowd to a frenzy after a phenomenal first-year campaign in the WNBA .

Reese missed out to Clark for WNBA Rookie of the Year after enjoying a historic rookie season in the league. 

Her season was cut short after she suffered a broken wrist earlier this month ending her rookie campaign. 

The Sky went on to miss the postseason for the first time since 2018, leading to the dismissal of coach Teresa Weatherspoon. 

Chicago fired Weatherspoon less than a year after hiring her to the helm of the Windy City’s WNBA franchise, leaving Reese ‘heartbroken.’

‘I’m heartbroken. I’m literally lost for words knowing what this women meant to me in such a pivotal point in my life,’ Reese said of the news of Weatherspoon’s dismissal. ‘She was the only person that believed in me. The one that trusted me.’

‘Many don’t even know what it’s like to be a black women in sports when nobody believes in you. You had a tough job. All the crazy circumstances that we went through this year & when your back was against the wall, you always believed. I came to Chicago because of YOU.’

‘You were an unsung hero in my life. We built a relationship in a short amount of time that will last forever. I’ll never question God why he brings people in my life and takes them away from me in the capacity that I need them but I’ve always believed everyone is in your life for a reason and a season.’

‘You were the best reason & season. You didn’t deserve this but I can’t thank you enough. I love you Tspoon.’
