After a match against the Iowa Hawkeyes, LSU standout Angel Reese has been making waves, particularly for her unique fashion choice of wearing leggings on only one leg.

Recently, Reese disclosed the reason behind her distinctive attire, putting an end to speculations about superstitions. There are dual motivations behind her choice: to conceal a scar and pay homage to her idols.

During her freshman year, she endured a Jones fracture, leading to the insertion of a rod into her left leg, which left a scar. Additionally, she noted that two basketball players she deeply admires also sport a single legging.

“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.

Reese’s unconventional dressing has piqued the interest of fans, with many speculating on its significance. However, Reese herself has clarified that it’s not a superstition but rather a personal choice.
