Chicago Sky star Angel Reese had several memorable moments during the WNBA All-Star Game 2025. Not only did her team beat Caitlin Clark's squad in dominant fashion, but they also had plenty of fun doing so.

Reese finished the contest with six points and nine rebounds in 17 minutes of play. She also had two assists, one of which was toward Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers as the two youngsters showed their connection.

Before the game, Reese turned a lot of heads with her sultry outfit. Then after it, she had fans in stitches after the Minnesota Lynx trolled her during a photo session.

The moment that stood out the most, however, was Reese's exchange with NBA player Wendell Carter Jr. The Orlando Magic big man was in Indianapolis to watch the All-Star Game, but fans quickly noticed his attire and his interaction with Reese.

Carter was spotted wearing a Reese T-shirt, and after they took a photo together, he was seen touching the Sky forward's back as if they were really close.

The exchange sparked speculation that they were dating, especially since they have been linked together before. During the past 2024-25 NBA season, Reese was actually seen attending a lot of Magic games.

During Reese's 23rd birthday party back in May, several fans also claimed that they spotted Carter attending the event.

"Love this hard launch!" a commenter said of Reese's moment with Carter. Another one claimed, "How come y’all didn’t know they were dating? I knew that."

"Looking more like they together than just fans," a fan remarked.

"Barbie just got it !! They all want her. Not a bad look AR5 Wendell Carter g supporting his Barbie," a supporter added.

A Facebook user stated, "I called this earlier in the NBA season. Angel came to several magic games. WCJ and Angel is a good look. Congrats to them."

"They would look good together if they were a couple," a social media user posted.
