Alexis Morris Has A Lot To Say About Former Teammate Angel Reese’s Suspension

The team’s top player and hero of last season’s NCAA championship run, Reese, was benched during the second half of a Tuesday victory over Kent State and did not play on Friday night in a victory against Southeastern Louisiana.

Mulkey didn’t really clarify Reese’s situation.

“You want me to explain why? It’s very obvious Angel was not in uniform,” Mulkey told reporters after Friday night’s game.

“Angel is a part of this basketball team and we hope to see her sooner than later.”

The benching and absence follow LSU’s surprise loss to No. 20 in its season opener. During the offseason, Colorado and Reese appeared in a music video and were highlighted in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

Mulkey was unwilling to speak, but Alexis Morris, Reese’s former colleague, had a lot to say.

Morris wrote on X, “I never ever ever wanted to be at odds, or care about likes, media, nil none of those things.” “I just wanted to hoop. I come from a different generation of players, we did not have all this when I was in HS!! NIL is a plus! Media coverage is a plus in my eyes.”

She commented on Thursday, “You can’t pay me to bash Kim.”

She added: “switched up to gang up on me [sic]. now yall fall-in out. don’t ever choose clout over loyalty free game. I showed real love not for marketing politics nothing. but the realist always prevail.”

Jasmine Carson, a fellow former LSU hooper, entered the controversy head-on while remaining out of it.

“Y’all better hope I don’t say nothing…because it would be breaking news,” Carson wrote on X on Thursday.

Morris and Carson were members of the national championship squad the previous year.

The drama surrounding the case is heightened by the apparent rivalry on Instagram between the mothers of Flau’jae Johnson and Reese Webb, aka Angel Reese Webb, and Reese.

“Folks pls do not send me long text msgs with a bunch of grammatical errors it gives me a headache,” Webb wrote.
