Angel Reese is officially in her lucky charm era. Fans are buzzing about Reese’s sideline appearances and the exciting streak she seems to be on. First, it was for the NFL games, and now she is stirring things in the NBA as well. However, it looks like there might be more to these appearances than meets the eye. But first things first.

Angel’s most recent appearance at the Orlando Magic’s blowout win over the Detroit Pistons is making the headlines. She herself confirmed her presence by sharing a selfie on her Instagram stories. On the court, it was the same story. After winning the game against the Lakers at the buzzer, Franz Wagner went off again, dropping 30 points, along with 9 rebounds and 8 assists, leading Orlando to a 111-100 victory. 

Not to forget, the Magic didn’t even have Paolo Banchero or Wendell Carter Jr., and they still extended their unbeaten home record to 8-0. Amidst it all, however, what caught everyone’s attention? The Chicago Sky star was in attendance as another home team won with her in watching on. And this wasn’t her first visit to Orlando this season.

Coincidence or not, the Magic sure seem to thrive when she’s in the building. She was at the Magic’s home game against the Indiana Pacers earlier in the year. And Magic won that one too. A 94-90 victory with Franz Wagner putting up big numbers. Even the team tweeted themselves, “thx for coming thru @Reese10Angel,” giving her a little shoutout for her presence. 

Moreover, as fans call it, the ‘Reese Effect’ goes beyond basketball, as her presence at some NFL games also quickly became associated with good fortune. The NFL teams’ home games she’s been to like the Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, and San Francisco 49ers—have all won when she was in the stands.

However, with Magic games, it seems like the speculation is taking a new twist. Fans are starting to wonder, could she be attending these games for more than just the action on the field?

Fans are starting to believe that Angel Reese’s frequent appearances at Magic games might not just be for the sport. People on social media have started to ask some interesting questions like, “Which Magic player is she dating?” Her curiosity about her love life is becoming a major topic as well.

Some fans have zeroed in on the Magic’s star player, Paolo Banchero, as a potential romantic interest. After all, he’s young, talented, and one of the hottest names in the league. To add to it, he is 6’10, and the WNBA star has already revealed that she has a thing for tall people. 

Is it possible that Reese, who’s already on the rise in her own career, might be spending time with him off the court? While some have pointed to Paolo as the main candidate, others are convinced that Reese might be keeping things a little more private.

Some fans have even joked that her “date” is trying to stay hidden, hinting that it could be a player who’s just not ready to make it public yet. But we can’t deny that these same types of rumors popped up when she attended NFL games, too, and we still don’t have any definitive answers. And I guess we won’t get them until she decides to share more. Whatever the case may be, Magic players are beyond happy and would surely like her to attend every game. 

Have something to say?
