Reese tapping out to try to save some face

I thought OP’s post was a bit OTP but damn, it has been reported that the Sky have cleared her to continue to play; that she has been given “an option” to play through the pain.

In other words, the Sky does not consider Reese’s injury to be season ending according to accepted medical standards.

The Sky are fighting for a playoff spot so it’s real hard not to conclude that she is taking the easy way out for selfish reasons.

I don't think she should necessarily be criticized for taking care of her wrist, but I don't doubt that it is possible for her to have played with the pain either. I heard her describe the injury as a crack in a bone that doesn't get much blood flow for healing. From experience with one of my sons, that sounds like a scaphoid fracture. My oldest son hurt his wrist on a fall in a basketball game and we thought it was just a sprain. He played for two more months with pain before we discovered he had a scaphoid fracture after his season was over and he fell a few more times snowboarding. It would not heal without surgery, which is what AR said so it makes sense to me that it is probably her scaphoid. It doesn't seem like an injury that you can't play through the pain with if you really wanted to, but it is not necessarily bad for her to want to take care of her body either.

Where did you see this reported? If true, that says a lot.

Facebook. I don’t recall the reporter’s name (my no pic wife showed me a post because I’m not on FB) but that reporter linked a video from Reese herself in which she says she had been given an option but she then says decided to not play because she doesn’t want the risk and wants a long career. I’m paraphrasing. That Reese video is out there.

I am amazed at the number of grown men who have lost their minds over an immature 20 + year old girl who has more money than they do.

I don't think it's the fact that she acts like a child half the time but the number of people that tried to gaslight themselves into thinking she was a better player than Clark was and then when it became obvious what the reality was they doubled down rather than admit they were wrong.

CC's comments regarding Reece are indicative of the person she is.

I hope we never find out, but I'm pretty sure if the situation was reversed, it'd be crickets from AR.
