Angel Reese might’ve only seen nine minutes on the court and stayed scoreless during the WNBA All-Star Game, but that didn’t stop Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. from showing up in the comments section with a message that spoke volumes. The Atlanta Dream star dropped a carousel of photos from her All-Star weekend on Instagram Sunday, capturing everything from her pregame look to a snap with Barack Obama.
“Proud of you !!” That’s All It Took to Fuel the Buzz
Carter Jr. didn’t need a lengthy declaration. “Proud of you !!” he wrote, a short but sweet message affirming his support. This couple has been low-key public since November, when Carter Jr. famously called Reese “my girl” on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back.” Their relationship timeline has been pure speculation fuel since May 2025, getting hotter at last year’s All-Star Game where Carter Jr. rocked a custom T-shirt featuring Reese’s face from the courtside. Reese returned the favor, watching Magic games last season, and Carter Jr. was even spotted in a custom Reese jersey at a Dream game against the Washington Mystics on June 6. Talk about commitment!
No Score, But No Signs of Injury Either, Thank Goodness
While the stat sheet for Reese showed zero points and just five rebounds in those nine minutes, the biggest takeaway for Dream fans has to be her health. She appeared to hurt her knee on July 19 in a game versus the Chicago Sky, leaving early. But at the All-Star exhibition, she looked totally healthy, not showing any signs of being hampered by injury. That’s a massive relief for Atlanta, especially with her potentially returning to action on Wednesday.
All eyes will be on Wednesday when the Atlanta Dream take on the Dallas Wings. Will Reese be back on the court, flashing that same healthy bounce she showed at the All-Star festivities? After a weekend of fun and unwavering support from her man, you gotta feel good about her chances.
