Angel Reese roasted by WNBA fans after All-Star Game mishap

Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese drew a lot of attention online after her layup was blocked by A’Ja Wilson during the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game at United Center in Chicago on Saturday.

Reese went up for a layup in the second quarter against the Las Vegas Aces superstar, who blocked without her jumping. The clip of the sequence is currently making the rounds on social media.

Although it was supposed to be wholesome between Reese and Wilson, who both laughed it off, more than a few fans quickly took the opportunity to roast the Dream star on X.

“This woman is supposed to be a professional?” a fan said.

“She was literally giving her the layup and she blocked herself. The absolute worst to ever do it,” another pointed out.

“And she saying she should get paid like NBA players? My neighbor’s 15 year old kid can play better than her…” read a comment.

“Out here flooring in a all-star game. Have come shame Reese,” argued another fan.

“Angel Reese must have partied hard previous night. She looks dizzy,” expressed another user.

A’Ja Wilson apologizes for blocking Angel Reese

Following the conclusion of the game, Wilson immediately cleared the air about her intention of not blocking Reese’s layup during the game.

The reigning WNBA MVP says she was even trying to get out of the way, but accidentally blocked the shot attempt of the Dream star when she contested it.

“Angel was not supposed to do that,” Wilson stated. “I was trying to get out of the way. I do not like to block shots during All-Star games. I’ve never had that happen to me, and I’m so sorry.”

Eventually, Wilson and Team Spoon got the 129-122 win over Reese and Team Coop. Jonquel Jones was named the All-Star Game MVP, as she finished with a near triple-double of 22 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists.
