Angel Reese has become known for bringing a streak of luck to home teams whose games she attends, and her charm worked once more at the Kia Center in Orlando as the shorthanded Magic defeated the Boston Celtics 108-104.
Fans were quick to highlight her “undefeated home team voodoo,” noting its impact despite the Magic being shorthanded without the Wagner brothers, Paolo Banchero and Gary Harris.
Her influence seemed undeniable as the Celtics, missing Jayson Tatum, let a 15-point lead slip away, ultimately losing to the Magic.
“We need her undefeated home team voodoo,” one fan said.
“She's a good luck charm, that's why the Magic are up on Boston rn,” another said.
“Bro home team still undefeated when she’s in attendance this s**t crazy,” another added.
Beyond her lucky streak, some fans speculated about Reese’s frequent presence at Magic games, suggesting it might be tied to her dating life. Reese had previously mentioned her preference for tall men — ideally NBA players standing between 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-8.
“She is in every Magic game. Who she got her eyes on this time?” one asked.
“Alright... who's on the Magic that she's always showing up for?” one said.
“Def someone taller than her! She said she doesn’t like short men so 6’7 and up! Wendell or Paolo?” another added.
Angel Reese’s dating life has mostly been private
While Reese’s dating life has mostly remained under wraps, she opened up in a November episode of her podcast, “Unapologetically Angel,” about why she’s currently single. Speaking with Funny Marco, Reese explained that her focus is on self-growth and that she’s not ready to fully commit to a relationship.
“Why am I single?” Reese reflected. “Just working on myself. … Everybody works on them themselves, but I'm not ready to give myself to someone else right now.”
“I don't want to give half. If I'm in a relationship I'm going to give everything I have.”
Reese also revealed that there’s one past relationship she regrets, though she kept the person’s identity private.
