Angel Reese rocked a special outfit for her brother's NBA game on Tuesday evening.
The Washington Wizards signed Julian Reese, a rookie big man, out of the G-League last week. Reese made his debut with the Wizards over the weekend, starting at center. He played in his second career NBA game on Tuesday evening, starting again against the Orlando Magic.
Angel Reese, a standout forward for the Chicago Sky, is an Orlando Magic fan. However, she switched up her fandom on Tuesday night. Reese was sitting courtside in a Washington Wizards, Julian Reese jersey.
She got it quickly.
Angel Reese, who is entering her third WNBA season, spoke to Monumental Sports about her sideline outfit and her Wizards fandom.
"As soon as I heard he was going to be on the team, I was like… I need a jersey," she said on Tuesday night.
It was an emotional time for the Reese family
Reese and her family got emotional over Julian's signing into the NBA.
"I was emotional when I found out I was crying, I was just so happy, because my mom was able to raise me and my brother. We were able to go to Maryland and play in front of our family," Angel said.
Julian Reese, a 6-foot-9 forward, had 9 points and 8 rebounds in 33 minutes on Tuesday evening. The Wizards lost to the Magic, 126-109.
