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.

VIDEO: Lip Readers Caught Jaylen Brown Bad-Mouthing Bronny James To WNBA Stars Kysre Gondrezick And Angel Reese At Summer League Game Without Knowing The Camera Was On Him

Jaylen Brown was caught criticizing Bronny James while sitting courtside at Monday night’s Summer League game between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.

Bronny, the 55th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, had another poor outing, registering two points, three rebounds, and one assist in the 88-74 loss.

The Celtics star was in attendance, sitting next to rumored girlfriend, Kysre Gondrezick, and Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese. He did not seem impressed with LeBron James’ son, given that lip readers picked up what he had to say about the Lakers rookie while unaware that the camera was on him.

“I don’t think Bronny is a pro,” Brown appeared to say.

“I think he’ll be on the G-league team for sure,” Gondrezick replied.

“I don’t think so, I think because of his name he’ll be on the Lakers,” Brown said in response.


Reese didn’t join the conversation.

“I see why they talk with they hands over the mouth now😂😂,” a fan commented.

Is Jaylen Brown Right About Bronny James?

There’s no audio to tell us exactly what Jaylen Brown was saying, yet it doesn’t look great either. If that’s what he said, he was only voicing an opinion, a valid one at that.

Bronny James has been largely disappointing since debuting for the Lakers in Summer League and is having difficulty convincing fans he was drafted on merit.

Time will tell whether the youngster will prove himself in the NBA; it’s still early days. But he doesn’t appear to have justified the Lakers pick just yet.
