Basketball star Angel Reese is at the center of a growing controversy as authorities investigate allegations of financial misconduct involving millions in charitable donations designated for flood relief efforts.

According to preliminary police reports, Reese is alleged to have received $15 million in donations intended to assist families and children impacted by the recent devastating floods. These funds were reportedly earmarked for emergency housing, food, medical aid, and long-term recovery initiatives.

However, investigators claim that only $5 million of the donated amount has been distributed to relief programs to date. The remaining $10 million is currently unaccounted for, raising concerns about potential misappropriation of funds.

A spokesperson for the local police department confirmed the investigation, stating: “We are conducting a thorough review into the distribution and management of the donated funds. While no formal charges have been filed at this stage, the evidence collected thus far warrants further inquiry.”

The allegations have triggered widespread public backlash. Many donors have expressed frustration and demanded greater transparency regarding how their contributions have been used. The hashtag #WhereIsTheMoney has gained traction across social media platforms as supporters call for accountability.

As of this writing, Angel Reese has not issued an official response to the allegations. Sources close to the athlete suggest that she may release a public statement in the coming days.

Authorities continue to examine financial records, interview associated relief organizations, and determine whether the missing funds were diverted, misallocated, or delayed in disbursement. The investigation remains active, with further updates expected as new findings emerge.

Angel Reese Injury Status Announced for Sky-Fever Game

Since the WNBA All-Star break, Angel Reese has been absent for a majority of the Chicago Sky’s games, including the last four due to a back injury.

In the six games Reese has missed since All-Star weekend, the Sky have struggled, going 1-5 and dropping to 8-22 overall on the 2025 WNBA season.

On Saturday, Chicago will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Indiana Fever for the fourth time this season. And the Sky will be missing their star once again.

Sky Announce Injury Report For Fever Game

For a fifth straight game, the Sky have announced that Reese will be unable to play, still recovering from her back injury. The former LSU Tigers star hasn’t seen any action since July 29, when she recorded 22 points and 13 rebounds in a loss to the Washington Mystics.

The Sky also revealed that three other players are on the injury report for Saturday’s contest. They are as follows (via WNBA reporter Karli Bell):

Guard Hailey Van Lith – Questionable – Ankle

Guard Ariel Atkins – Questionable – Leg

Forward Michaela Onyenwere – Out – Knee

Fever Also Have Lengthy Injury Report

While Reese and the Sky have had their fair share of injury issues, the Fever are no different. They have been without Caitlin Clark for the past nine games due to a groin injury. The All-WNBA point guard will likely be out again on Saturday.

But the Fever will only have nine players and zero point guards available for Saturday’s game against Chicago. In Thursday’s loss to the Phoenix Mercury, both Aari McDonald (foot) and Sydney Colson (ACL) suffered major injuries, ending their seasons.
