Angel Reese just made it clear once again where her allegiance lies in the 2026 NBA Playoffs.

Following the Orlando Magic’s surprising 112-101 win over the Detroit Pistons in Game 1 of their first-round series at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Mich., Reese shared a social media post that was unmistakably a show of support for her boyfriend, Wendell Carter Jr., and the Magic.

The Magic even acknowledged it.

The Magic’s social media team usually shares a “Play the Song” post after every Orlando win. The team hopes it will do so again three more times against the Pistons, as Orlando looks to pull off a first-round upset.

Taking out Detroit in the first round is going to be easier said than done for the Magic, but Orlando drawing first blood in the series has put the top seed in the Eastern Conference on upset alert.

Carter had a solid outing in Game 1, scoring 17 points on an efficient 8/9 shooting from the field with 7 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in 37 minutes.

Reese is in the middle of a training camp with her new team, the Atlanta Dream, but she’s surely going to keep a close eye on Carter and the Magic, who shoot for a 2-0 series lead on Wednesday.
