Angel Reese was third-wheeling on Monday night, having attended an NBA Summer League fixture between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics on Monday night.

The former LSU star was pulled up with former Chicago Sky teammate Kysre Gondrezick and Celtics superstar guard Jaylen Brown and, at several points, was the center of attention. It’s why her interaction with former NBA point guard and current Celtics assistant coach Sam Cassell wasn’t missed.

Cassell embraced Reese with a tight hug, keeping a hand on her shoulder while they spoke. And, as you would imagine, the internet had all sorts of things to say about it.

“you can’t fool me sam cassell. i’m familiar with your game,” a fan noted, having posted a video of them together.

Other Fans Pointed Out The Baltimore Connection Between Angel Reese And Sam Cassell

While some fans were going off over the embrace, others pointed out that the two could be very familiar with each other due to their Baltimore roots.

Meanwhile, Reese and Gondrezick remain friends, although the Sky waived the latter earlier this year. Gondrezick is also rumored to be dating Brown, who appeared to bad-mouth Bronny James during the game.

He has since taken to social media to make his feelings clear on the youngster, though no one’s buying it.
