Angel Reese’s Interaction With Paige Bueckers is Turning Heads

Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers have already become quite the duo — even before playing together in the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game.  The Chicago Sky forward and Dallas Wings guard are both playing for Team Collier, with Bueckers serving as a starter and Reese as a reserve. On Friday, the All-Star teams took the court in Indianapolis for their practice before the big game on Saturday.

Interestingly, Reese and Bueckers generated plenty of buzz after several photos from the All-Star practice surfaced. ESPNW shared the photos on Instagram, with the first slide showing the two youngsters all smiles while practicing and playing around.  Sure enough, fans couldn’t help but comment on the photos, with many taking notice of Bueckers and Reese’s closeness and the joy they displayed together.
