Angel Reese is turning heads this WNBA offseason as the Chicago Sky star continues to captivate NBA fans with her courtside appearances. The 22-year-old has been spotted cheering on teams from the sidelines, showcasing her impeccable style and infectious energy. Her latest courtside appearance at the Kia Center for the Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic game sparked new waves of excitement.
Reese arrived in a chic, winter-inspired ensemble, pairing a classic little black dress with a modern twist. The long-sleeved mini dress featured beige fur accents on the collar and cuffs, which she complemented with a beige Chanel mini handbag. Videos from the event captured her radiant smile and warm greetings to fans, showing just how much she enjoys being courtside.
While her stylish look drew praise, NBA fans noticed a more intriguing trend tied to her presence. Many pointed out on social media that Reese has seemingly become a lucky charm for home teams. After the Magic’s 108-104 win over the Celtics, fans on X noted that home teams are 12-0 when Reese attends their games this season. Dubbed the “Angel Reese Effect,” this unintentional streak has sparked playful chatter online.
Reese herself acknowledged the trend, jokingly asking about the record for her courtside appearances. Fans flooded her with invitations to attend their favorite teams’ games. “Come save the Sacramento Kings please,” one fan wrote, while another joked, “Need you to be at the Steelers-Chiefs game in a Steelers jersey.” Others offered lighthearted warnings, saying, “Keep coming to Magic games, but stay away from my guys,” and “Insane run, don’t go to any Bears games soon if you want to keep your streak.”
A fan account summarized the phenomenon, noting, “Every time you’ve attended a game this year, the home team has come out on top!”
It’s worth mentioning, however, that Reese’s courtside appearances haven’t always guaranteed success. She was present at the New York Knicks vs. Orlando Magic game at Madison Square Garden, where the Magic lost 100-91. She also attended the Magic’s 111-100 victory over the Detroit Pistons at the Kia Center.
Reese’s courtside presence continues to make waves, blending her iconic style with what some fans see as a mysterious winning streak for home teams.
