In the world of women's basketball, drama is as much a part of the game as buzzer-beaters and fast breaks—and the latest headline involves two of the WNBA's biggest stars. Angel Reese, the dynamic forward now with the Atlanta Dream, stirred up social media by posting an Instagram Story of her current boyfriend, Wendell Carter Jr., dunking on her apparent ex, Jalen Duren, during the NBA playoffs. It was a playful jab that had fans buzzing, but not everyone found it amusing.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, never one to shy away from speaking her mind, weighed in on the situation during her podcast, Show Me Something. When asked about Reese's online antics, Cunningham said, "Something had to have happened for her to want to embarrass [Duren] in some way." A co-host suggested that maybe nothing happened at all, prompting Cunningham to deliver a brutally honest take: "Valid. But then move on. Worry about the current boyfriend."
This isn't the first time Cunningham has called out Reese. Back in September, Cunningham criticized the former LSU star for publicly throwing her Chicago Sky teammates under the bus during a tough season. "That's not great," Cunningham said at the time. "When you're losing, and it has been a frustrating season, everyone is feeling those emotions. There's just some things that you can't say."
The Sky eventually traded Reese to the Atlanta Dream in the offseason, giving the two-time All-Star a fresh start. And with that fresh start comes a renewed rivalry: when Atlanta faces off against Caitlin Clark, Cunningham, and the Fever, you can bet Reese will be playing with extra fire. Whether it's on the court or off, these two stars know how to keep the game interesting—and fans will be watching every move.
