During her comeback game against the Washington Mystics, cameras captured Angel Reese wearing a pendant that quickly caught the internet’s attention. The necklace bore the letters “WCJ,” and it did not take long for fans to connect the dots to Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr.
The buzz grew when a verified account tied to LSU prospect ZaKiyah Johnson‘s PR team shared the image with the caption, “Awww angel’s wearing his initials on her necklace.”
A playful response turns into a social media storm
As the photo spread, one fan tried to inject humor into the debate by suggesting the letters might stand for something else entirely, writing: “Women can’t even wear necklaces that stand for Wisdom, Courage, and Joy anymore.” Reese herself joined in, reposting the comment with a lighthearted line of her own: “right like y’all know i’m one of Gods children.”
Her response, intended as a playful deflection, drew mixed reactions. While some laughed it off, others criticized her reference to faith in the context of the rumors. One user referenced a viral clip of Reese dancing with a popular rapper, writing, “If you want to represent Christ, stop t-g and be humble.”

Another chimed in more bluntly, “THEN WEAR A CROSS NECKLACE AND PRAY TO ROSARY,” arguing that if her message was truly spiritual, her jewelry should reflect it.
The speculation around Reese and Carter has been building for weeks. The two have reportedly been seen together multiple times off the court, and Carter was photographed wearing an Angel Reese T-shirt, which only fueled the narrative. Reese attending one of Carter’s games added further weight to the whispers about a possible relationship between the rising WNBA star and the NBA big man.
Despite the chatter, Reese has offered no confirmation and appears intent on maintaining the boundaries she set after her breakup earlier this year. The attention has not shifted her focus on the court, where she continues to find her rhythm during her rookie season in Chicago.
