Angel Reese had been the busiest WNBA star in the offseason, with multiple ongoing projects right from the entertainment world to Fashion World. She even returned to basketball action, rejoining the Rose BC at the Unrivaled season 2.
Amid this, the player checks on her close ones. She attended multiple Orlando Magic games, showing support for her boyfriend, Wendell Carter Jr. Reese also praised her brother, Julian Reese, after he earned a two-way contract in the NBA and attended his early games.
With her recent post, she also showed her closeness with her college basketball team and its staff, lauding her former assistant coach, Gary Redus II, for his upcoming journey as head coach.
Angel Reese Hypes Up Gary Redus II’s Achievement
The Scarlet Knights missed five consecutive NCAA appearances following a disappointing season, and in the 2025-26 season, too, the team posted a disappointing 9-20 record. This ended head coach Coquese Washington’s tenure at the program, and on Monday, Rutgers announced the hiring of Gary Redus II as the team’s new head basketball coach.
Reese was one of the early respondents to the news and went to X, posting, “So deserving! Proud of you my guy!!”
