Why did Atlanta Dream superstar forward Angel Reese awkwardly ignore her old LSU teammate Flau’jae Johnson during Saturday’s road game against the Seattle Storm?
With Seattle putting the finishing touches of an impressive victory over Atlanta, Johnson tried to give her former teammate what looked to be a greeting of good sportsmanship. Reese was just not interested in saying hello.
While the game was still going on and Reese may have just wanted to stay in a competitive mode, Johnson looked a little confused as to why Reese didn’t greet her back. She might have wanted to wait until after the game, we guess?
