Carter dropped a short but sweet message, expressing his pride for her.
“Proud of you !!” Carter wrote.
Reese only played nine minutes during the game and was held scoreless. However, she recorded five rebounds and didn’t show signs of being hampered by any injury. The three-time All-Star exited the Dream’s game versus the Chicago Sky on July 19 early after appearing to hurt her knee. She looked healthy during the exhibition game and could return to action on Wednesday when Atlanta takes on the Dallas Wings.

Reese and Carter first sparked romance rumors in May 2025. They further fueled speculation during last year’s All-Star Game as Carter was courtside wearing a custom T-shirt featuring Reese’s face. She then returned the favor by watching Magic games last season. On June 6, the Dream faced the Washington Mystics at Gateway Center Arena, and Carter was once again in attendance wearing a custom Reese jersey.
They went public with their relationship in November on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back,” with Carter calling Reese “my girl.” The couple continues to support each other during WNBA and NBA games.,
