Kevin Durant recently sparked more rumors of a romantic relationship with Angel Reese via a curious comment.

The Chicago Sky rookie was forced to deny dating rumors a few months ago, but according to TMZ, KD hasn’t done them any favors, as he’s said something that will put them right back in the crosshairs.

With the Phoenix Suns facing the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday, players from the former were asked to shout out their favorite female athletes of all time as part of a tribute for the beginning of Women’s Empowerment Month.

While most of his teammates chose seasoned pros such as Diana Taurasi and Serena Williams, Durant named Angel Reese.

Was Kevin Durant Just Being Cheeky?

The forward had a decent rookie season with the Sky in 2024, yet she’s only played for one season, so you’re unlikely to get many people branding her one of the best all-time.

“Reese, of course, had a good rookie season in the WNBA … but there aren’t many who are calling the 22-year-old the G.O.A.T. just yet — leading a whole bunch of people to wonder if Durant has some romantic interest in the Chicago Sky hooper,” TMZ noted.

Of course, KD could have been showing love to Maryland, where they are both from. Knowing him, it’s possible he was also just being cheeky.

The two athletes were romantically linked last summer after they were shown sitting together for a Team USA women’s basketball exhibition game in Paris, France, during the 2024 Olympic Games. But the former LSU star insisted they were not a thing on her ‘Unapologetically Angel’ podcast sometime after.

Reese has also been linked to Detroit Pistons big man Jalen Duren, but that was never confirmed.
