Randallstown, Maryland – Just moments ago, in a heart-wrenching announcement that has sent shockwaves through the sports world and beyond, the family of basketball sensation Angel Reese confirmed that her beloved mother, Angel Webb Reese, is currently in critical condition after suffering a sudden and severe medical emergency.

According to close family sources, the 55-year-old matriarch, known for her unwavering strength, vibrant personality, and steadfast support of her daughter’s career, collapsed at her home in Randallstown earlier this morning. Emergency responders arrived on the scene within minutes and transported her to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where she remains under intensive medical care. The exact nature of her condition has not yet been disclosed, but family members have asked for privacy and prayers during this devastating time.

Angel Reese, the WNBA-bound star and NCAA champion who captured national attention with her dazzling performances and unapologetic confidence, was reportedly by her mother’s side within an hour of the incident. A statement posted on Angel’s social media accounts reads:

“Please keep my mom, my best friend, my rock, in your prayers. This is the hardest moment of my life. I love her more than anything, and we’re staying strong as a family. We’ll keep everyone updated when we can.”

The news has drawn an outpouring of love and concern from fans, teammates, coaches, and celebrities across the country. South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley posted a heartfelt message, saying, “Sending love and strength to Angel Reese and her family. We’re all praying for Mama Reese — a true queen and fierce supporter of women’s basketball.”

WNBA legend Candace Parker also shared her support on Instagram, writing, “You’ve got a village behind you, Angel. Praying for your mom’s recovery and sending all my love to the Reese family.”

For those who’ve followed Angel Reese’s career, the deep bond between her and her mother has always been a powerful and visible force. Angel Webb Reese, a former collegiate athlete herself, raised her daughter with a fierce commitment to hard work, discipline, and confidence. As a single mother for many years, she dedicated her life to providing opportunities for Angel and encouraging her to rise above the noise, stay grounded, and dream big.

The elder Reese often sat courtside during games, cheering proudly, capturing viral moments, and even responding to critics with fiery yet poised grace. Her influence has helped shape Angel into not only a sports icon but also a young woman who uses her voice to stand for authenticity and empowerment.

“Everything I am is because of my mom,” Angel said in a past interview. “She made me who I am — the attitude, the toughness, the confidence. She’s always been my biggest fan.”

Now, as her mother faces a battle for her life, Angel is surrounded by a community that is rallying in love and solidarity. Fans have flooded her pages with messages of encouragement, sharing their own stories of strength and family, creating a digital sea of support.

Randallstown, a quiet suburb of Baltimore, has also responded with deep concern. A local community vigil is being planned for tonight outside the family’s church, where neighbors and fans will gather to light candles and pray for a miracle.

Many are reminded that behind every star athlete, there’s often a parent who sacrificed, pushed, and nurtured in silence — and Angel Webb Reese was that person. From long drives to AAU tournaments, late-night pep talks, and tough love during hard times, her influence has been woven into every milestone of her daughter’s journey.

The Reese family has requested privacy during this critical time and has not yet released further medical details. However, they are expected to hold a press briefing in the coming days to provide more information.

In a world often obsessed with highlights and headlines, this moment is a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and the strength of family. For now, the world waits and hopes — united in faith that a mother’s love, and the love for a mother, can move mountains.
