Angel Reese raises eyebrows in Detroit Pistons hoodie

Although Reese played her college ball in Maryland and Louisiana and was drafted by the Chicago Sky, she raised eyebrows by sporting a Detroit Pistons hoodie in a video she posted on social media.

The video caught fans' attention as she’s been linked to Pistons center Jalen Duren, a key member of Detroit’s young core.

During the WNBA's Olympics break, Reese and Duren were rumored to be spending time together on vacation.
