The connection between the NBA and the WNBA is very strong, and in some cases, it’s even personal. Bam Adebayo and A’ja Wilson went public with their relationship, and the next stars in line were Angel Reese and Wendell Carter Jr. Late in November, Reese fueled dating rumors with the Orlando Magic’s star with a cryptic social media post.
Later, the star gave the biggest hint on a podcast with his comments about the Chi-Town Barbie. While there were different occasions and posts, the duo showed their love; the big center commented on the Sky forward’s message for the first time.
Wendell Carter Jr. Reacts To Angel Reese’s Post
Ever since the WNBA Season was over, the 2024 rookie was at the NBA Games showing her support to the Orlando Magic team, clapping for her boyfriend, Wendell Carter Jr. Though the duo is just enjoying each other’s company, the star hasn’t made any official statement about their relationship, until her recent post.
Highlighting her stunning looks at the NBA game, Reese wrote, “You see why he is always winning,” with a wink emoji. While it’s still a cryptic post, Carter Jr also quickly reacted to the post and wrote, “type s**t.”
The former Duke star’s comment is certainly a fun poke at Reese’s post and claims. But the Windy City star had been a regular at the Magic games. Angel Reese redefines WAG after supporting boyfriend Wendell Carter Jr. at the New York Knicks-Orlando Magic clash.
