Orlando Magic forward Wendell Carter was put on the spot about rumors that he and Chicago Sky star Angel Reese are dating.
During a Monday appearance on FanDuel’s “Run It Back,” Carter couldn’t stop smiling when former NBA forward Chandler Parsons asked if they are a couple.
“That’s the homie for sure. We locked in,” Carter, 26, said. “Y’all gonna find out when y’all need to find out. We’ll just leave it at that. That’s my girl, though. We locked in for sure.”
Carter laughed as Michelle Beadle, who is a co-host on the show, was shocked over him calling Reese his “homie.”
Former NBAer Lou Williams, another co-host on the show, jokingly warned Carter that Reese might not like the “homie” label.
“Hey listen, way to clean that up,” Williams said. “Because when you get that text message, ‘Oh, homie?’
“I was gonna stay out of it, but big homie, I was gonna give you some advice … don’t work that one now!” Williams said.
Parsons joked, “You’re in the dog house real quick,” while Beadle added, “Homie is rough.”
Although Reese has yet to address the relationship rumors, the two-time WNBA All-Star has recently shared social media posts, hinting at the pairing spending time together.
The pair were first linked earlier this year.
Reese was spotted with Carter at her 23rd birthday party in May.
In July, Carter supported Reese at the WNBA All-Star Game, wearing a shirt with her picture on the front, as captured in photos from the game.
Reese, who has attended multiple Magic games this season, has spent a lot of time in Florida during the WNBA offseason.
The Reebok athlete shared photos of her decked out in Magic gear earlier this month.
