The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and like many people, Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese chimed in on the action.
The playoffs have been well underway for several days with intense buzzer-beaters, back-and-forth matchups and even some serious dunks. Reese has been a witness to the best basketball of the year and took to social media to share her thoughts. She appeared to give a shoutout to rumored boyfriend, Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr, on her Instagram story by posting a shot of Carter dunking on Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren during their first-round playoff series.
The post gained traction online because many people on social media pointed to past rumors that Reese potentially dated Duren before connecting with Carter. Fans assumed the posts could have more meaning. The post also caught the attention of Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.
The subject came up on a recent episode of Cunningham’s Show Me Something podcast. “Something had to have happened for her to want to embarrass (Jalen Duren) in some way,” Cunningham said. “Or nothing happened,” her co-host replied. Then, Cunningham chimed in again, offering words on how she felt Reese should operate.
“Valid. But then move on,” Cunningham said. “Worry about the current boyfriend.”
