Angel Reese in fur coat

Angel Reese was all about showing love.

Angel Reese has fueled rumors of a relationship with Orlando Magic star Wendell Carter Jr. in the past.

But perhaps the holiday season set the stage for the most obvious one of them all.

The Chicago Sky forward took to her Instagram Story in a red satin outfit bearing the initials “AR” and “Our 2nd Christmas.”

She also wore a gold chain with a pendant displaying the initials “WCJ,” a term often associated with the Magic center.

While both basketball stars have hinted at a serious relationship, neither of them has confirmed it.

The pair have been rumored to be together since the beginning of 2025. It appears that their coupling dates back to at least late last year, given that this Christmas was their second.

Carter was spotted at Reese’s birthday celebration in May, which sparked rife speculation. Earlier this month, Reese showed up to a Magic game wearing a custom team jersey with the words “My Man” on the back. She mixed that up with denim trousers, heels, a black necktie, and a fitted hat.

The NBA big man has also shown support for Reese by attending the WNBA All-Star Game this year. He donned a Reese T-shirt, which set off sleuths.

While they have both stopped short of going public with their relationship, Carter spoke about it last month. He was a guest on FanDuel TV’s ‘Run It Back’ and was asked straight-up what the deal was by former NBA forward Chandler Parsons.

“That’s the homie for sure, we locked in,” he said.“Y’all gonna find out when y’all need to find out. We’ll just leave it at that. That’s my girl, though. We locked in for sure.”

Reese also disclosed that she was no longer single in November but didn’t reveal much more.

The former LSU star was previously linked with Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren, but rumors eventually flamed out.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
