The Orlando Magic were in the Windy City for a game against the Chicago Bulls. Chi Town Barbie, Angel Reese attended the game as she had her hometown franchise playing in the game and also her love interest, Wendell Carter Jr., playing for the opposing team.
Earlier, the WNBA star attended most of the games at the Orlando Magic’s home arenas. Wendell Carter Jr. even dropped a hint at Reese’s stunning courtside look. But this time, fans took her presence in a different way, criticizing the Sky forward in their comments.
Fans React To Angel Reese’s Courtside Appearance
Ever since the rumors around the Sky forward and Orlando Magic Center gained traction, the WNBA player was a regular on the Magic’s games. Reese redefined WAG after supporting Carter Jr. at the New York Knicks-Orlando Magic clash.

Fans, though, found flaws in her presence at the game. Some even pointed out the hypocrisy of the player crying about low earnings from the WNBA and still watching games from the pricy courtside seats.

While her relations with the Chicago Sky franchise are currently under scrutiny, the player did he part well in the season and even had a successful offseason so far.
Angel Reese’s Incredible 2025 Year
The star was part of the inaugural season of the Unrivaled league, which became a huge success for the founders and players. The 4-year-old finished the opening season as champion, taking home her first pro-level title.

On the floor, she was a constant double-double threat, handing the Sky franchise a massive advantage around the rim. Sadly, the team couldn’t capitalize on her productions and finished with just 11 wins.
In the offseason, though, the player conquered all the glam and entertainment world, modelling for Victoria’s Secret and also acting in a Netflix movie. Reese would be hoping for an even better 2026 with her special demands from the Chicago Sky franchise already made public.
