Angel Reese is building quite the reputation as a good-luck charm for home teams, and her courtside presence at the Kia Center in Orlando on Monday was no exception. The Chicago Sky’s star watched as the shorthanded Orlando Magicovercame a 15-point deficit to beat the Boston Celtics 108-104. With key players like Paolo Banchero and the Wagner brothers sidelined, fans couldn’t help but credit Reese’s “undefeated home team voodoo” for the surprising victory.
The game marked yet another instance where Reese’s attendance coincided with a win for the home team. Social media was quick to light up with comments about her supposed lucky streak. “We need her undefeated home team voodoo,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Bro, home team still undefeated when she’s in attendance-this s**t crazy.”
While Reese’s“luck”stole the headlines, some fans speculated about her frequent appearances at Magic games. Many pointed to her public remarks about dating preferences-tall NBA players standing between 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-8-as a possible reason. “She is at every Magic game. Who she got her eyes on this time?” one fan joked. Another suggested, “Def someone taller than her! Wendell or Paolo?”
Reese’s dating life has largely remained private, but she addressed the subject in a November episode of her podcast, Unapologetically Angel. Speaking with comedian Funny Marco, she explained her focus on self-growth and why she’s currently single. “If I’m in a relationship, I want to give everything I have,”she said, emphasizing her decision to wait until she’s ready to commit fully.
Linking Angel Reese to NBA players
This isn’t the first time Reese has been linked to NBA players. Earlier this year, rumors swirled about a possible connection with Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren after the two were spotted together during the WNBA’s Olympic break. Reese even wore a Detroit jersey, further fueling speculation.
Beyond the chatter about her love life and lucky streak, Reese’s star power continues to grow. Her courtside appearances not only energize fans but also spotlight her transition from a college basketball standout to a cultural icon.
The Magic’s victory over the Celtics added yet another layer to the buzz surrounding Reese. Whether or not her presence truly impacts the outcome, her influence on the fan experience is undeniable.
