The USA Basketball Team is actively preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics, having recently displayed their prowess in exhibition matches held in Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, and London.
With prominent stars like LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant, the team is focused on refining their teamwork and strategies under the guidance of coach Steve Kerr.
A key to Team USA’s success at the 2024 Paris Olympics will be Kevin Durant. As the national team’s all-time leading scorer, Durant’s scoring ability, vast experience, and leadership are invaluable. Although a calf strain has kept him out of recent exhibition games, his return is highly anticipated.
Recently, the rumor mill has been abuzz with speculation about a possible romantic relationship between Kevin Durant and Angel Reese.
This chatter intensified after a photo surfaced showing Durant, Reese, and Stephen Curry sitting courtside at a women’s Team USA friendly against Germany. Reese, who has had a busy schedule, played a crucial role in the WNBA All-Stars’ upset win over Team USA before traveling overseas to watch the men’s Team USA battle Germany in their last friendly game before the 2024 Summer Olympics.
The viral image of Durant and Reese sparked rumors that they might be more than friends.

However, these speculations remain unconfirmed.
Reese and Durant do share a notable connection. During a draft event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York, Reese expressed her admiration for Durant.
In a media interaction, when asked to choose an NBA player as her partner in a 2v2 match, Reese immediately picked Durant. Even when the reporter suggested she pick someone else due to Durant’s popularity, she stood by her choice, stating Durant was her favorite player and that, being from the DMV area, she wouldn’t consider anyone else.
While Reese’s comments don’t confirm a romantic relationship, they clearly show mutual respect and admiration.
Adding fuel to the fire, Reese recently encountered Wanda Durant, Kevin Durant’s mother, during a match against the Washington Mystics. Both Wanda and Angel Reese hail from Maryland. They posed for a photo together after the match, which some fans interpreted as potential matchmaking by Wanda Durant.
Fans have been quick to speculate, but it is premature to assume that there is a relationship between Durant and Reese. If a romance were to develop, however, they would certainly make a dynamic duo.
Angel Reese has been making waves in the WNBA, recently earning All-Star status. She set a new league record for consecutive double-doubles and has been instrumental in her team’s success.
Meanwhile, veteran NBA star Kevin Durant, with multiple championships and MVP titles, continues to shine with the Phoenix Suns. Both athletes are exceptional talents in their respective leagues, showcasing their skills and potential on a grand scale.
As the 2024 Olympics approach, the focus will remain on their athletic performances. Whether or not there is any truth to the dating rumors, Durant and Reese will continue to captivate fans with their on-court achievements and contributions to the game of basketball.
