There have been rumors in recent weeks that Orlando Magic forward Wendell Carter Jr. is dating WNBA star Angel Reese.
Carter was recently asked about those rumors during an interview with FanDuel TV. While he did not directly confirm that he is dating Reese, he certainly offered a strong hint that he is.
“That’s the homie, for sure. We’re locked in,“ Wendell Carter Jr. said. ”Y’all are going to find out when y’all need to find out. We’ll just leave it at that. That’s my girl, though. We’re locked in, for sure.”
A former Duke star, Wendell Carter Jr. is now in his eighth season in the NBA and is averaging 12.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
As for Angel Reese, she has quickly established herself as one of the best players in the WNBA, making the All-Star game each of her first two seasons after leading LSU to a national title during her college career.
Carter was asked about a couple of other NBA and WNBA stars in Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo and four-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson.
Adebayo and Wilson have been open about their relationship and on paper would be incredibly difficult to beat in a 2-on-2 game.
However, Carter believes he and Angel Reese would win if the two couples ever faced off.
Michelle Beadle, Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams from FanDuel TV suggested that perhaps the matchup should take place at All-Star weekend.
“I’m a competitor. I ain’t going to say that they’re going to win, you know what I mean?” Wendell Carter Jr. said. “Shoutout to Bam and A’ja, though. A’ja’s one of the best to ever do it already. Bam is doing his thing. But I’m always going to ride with the home team, for sure.”
