Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky forward and 2024 WNBA All-Star, is making waves even during the offseason. After an impressive rookie season where she averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds, Reese has been spotted at various high-profile events, including NFL games and NBA matches. Known for her dominant performance at LSU, Reese was selected 7th overall by the Chicago Sky, quickly establishing herself as a force on the court. This offseason, she’s been balancing her downtime with appearances at events and supporting her family, including her younger brother, Julian Reese.
Julian Reese, who currently plays for the University of Maryland, was the center of attention when Angel was spotted courtside at the Maryland-Bucknell college basketball game on Wednesday. As a starting player for Maryland, Julian has been showcasing impressive stats, averaging 13.2 points and 9.3 rebounds per game this season. He’s currently in his fourth year at Maryland, continuing his college career after playing at St. Frances Academy. With his impressive performances, some fans have begun to draw comparisons between Julian and his older sister, who set a WNBA record for rookie double-doubles last season.
Fans were quick to notice Angel’s presence at the game, and social media lit up with comments supporting the Reese siblings. Many fans expressed their admiration for Angel’s support of her brother, with one fan noting, “Best basketball siblings duo.” Others praised both siblings for their athleticism, commenting on how Julian’s motor and rebounding skills reminded them of Angel’s playing style. The Reese family’s bond, built on a shared love for basketball, is clearly a source of pride for their followers.
While Angel Reese is currently taking a break from WNBA action, her attendance at the game proves she’s as dedicated to her family as she is to her career. Her support for Julian at the game also reflects the tight-knit relationship they share, as both have proven to be major contributors to their respective teams. Fans are hopeful that Julian’s career will continue to thrive, just as Angel’s has.
As the offseason continues, expect to see more moments like this one, where Reese can be seen balancing her career with family commitments. Fans continue to rally behind the Reese siblings, who are quickly becoming one of the most talked-about families in basketball today.
