Angel Reese steps back from 'Unapologetically Angel' podcast after Atlanta Dream's Finals loss

WNBA Finals MVP candidate Angel Reese is taking a six-month hiatus from her widely discussed podcast, *Unapologetically Angel*, following the Atlanta Dream’s heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Golden State Valkyries. The forward, who struggled offensively in the deciding game—posting just eight points on 3-for-7 shooting despite 12 rebounds and 33 minutes of play—used the platform to address personal priorities, including rest, physical training, and brand development.

Reese, who tied a WNBA Finals record with 27 turnovers over the series, will spend the break in Florida with her boyfriend, Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr., framing it as a period to recharge and refocus. Her departure from the podcast, known for its candid takes on topics like salary disparities and public figures, coincides with a front office likely eager for improved ball security ahead of next season.

The Dream’s first Finals appearance since 2013 ended in defeat, with Reese acknowledging the loss while downplaying personal accountability. Her offseason plans—centered on recovery, strength training, and mental clarity—suggest a deliberate shift away from the high-profile commentary that defined her public persona during the regular season.

Whether the break translates to on-court improvements remains to be seen, but Reese has signaled her intent to return stronger for Atlanta’s title pursuit in 2027.
