Angel Reese found herself in the spotlight on Monday night, attending an NBA Summer League game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics.
The former LSU star was joined by her former Chicago Sky teammate Kysre Gondrezick and Celtics superstar guard Jaylen Brown, making her the center of attention on several occasions.
Reese’s interaction with former NBA point guard and current Celtics assistant coach Sam Cassell did not go unnoticed. Cassell warmly embraced Reese, keeping a hand on her shoulder as they spoke. The internet quickly buzzed with reactions to the encounter.
“You can’t fool me, Sam Cassell. I’m familiar with your game,” a fan commented, sharing a video of the two together.

While some fans speculated about the nature of their interaction, others pointed out that Reese and Cassell might share a connection through their Baltimore roots.
Another photo from the night captured Reese proudly displaying her WNBA figure in a pair of jean shorts. The image quickly went viral, eliciting a range of reactions on social media. As expected, opinions were divided, with some praising her look while others criticized it.
Despite the social media frenzy, Reese and Gondrezick remain close friends, even though the Sky waived Gondrezick earlier this year. Gondrezick is also rumored to be dating Jaylen Brown, who stirred controversy by appearing to bad-mouth Bronny James during the game.
Brown later took to social media to clarify his feelings about James, though skepticism remains among fans.
The night was a mix of basketball, social interactions, and viral moments, with Angel Reese once again proving to be a magnetic presence both on and off the court.
