In the latest clash in the NBA, the Orlando Magic<\/a> locked horns with the Miami Heat<\/a> at the Kia Center, Orlando and came out victorious by just one point. However, what caught everyone\u2019s attention wasn\u2019t the win or a performance by any player; it was Carter\u2019s sneaker choice that stole the night, as the Magic big man took the floor in Reese\u2019s signature shoes, Angel Reese 1s in the bold \u201cReceipts Ready\u201d colorway.<\/p>\n View this post on Instagram<\/p>\n This gesture, which left many fans in awe, comes after the NBA veteran appeared on FanDuel TV\u2019s \u201cRun It Back\u201d with Lou Williams, Chandler Parsons, and Michelle Beadle, where he, while vaguely but still, confirmed his relationship with the WNBA superstar, Angel Reese.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the homie for sure,\u201d he said, unable to control his smile. \u201cWe locked in. Y\u2019all gonna find out when y\u2019all need to find out. We\u2019ll just leave it at that. That\u2019s my girl, though. We locked in for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n While this may be Carter\u2019s first on-court gesture since the rumors heated up, the speculation around the two has been building for months<\/a>. The buzz first picked up back in May, when Carter was seen celebrating Reese\u2019s 23rd birthday with her.<\/p>\n A few months later, he showed up again in her corner, this time at the WNBA All-Star Game, wearing a shirt with Angel Reese\u2019s photo on it, which only added fuel to the fire.<\/p>\n Reese, on the other hand, has kept a steady presence around the Magic throughout the season. Even during the WNBA offseason, when players spend their time recovering, trying new activities, or playing overseas, Reese spent considerable time in Florida, often appearing courtside at Orlando\u2019s games and drawing attention with each visit.<\/p>\n
