WNBA star Angel Reese stepped courtside at the Smoothie King Center on Friday, November 7, 2026, wearing a striking zebra-print outfit to support her brother, Julian Reese, during a matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Big Lead reported that the family outing came on the heels of a busy week for Reese, which included an appearance at her alma mater LSU where she was honored during a game against Texas Southern. While the Timberwolves secured a 115-109 victory over the Pelicans, much of the arena attention drifted toward the courtside seats where Reese sat alongside her mother, Angel Webb Reese, as documented in coverage highlighted by Twasl News.
Julian Reese, a 6’7” forward who signed a two-way contract with New Orleans after previously spending time with the Washington Wizards, did not take the floor during Friday’s contest. According to reported league statistics, the rookie has appeared in just one game this season—logging three minutes and posting two points and one rebound in a win over the Atlanta Hawks—as he continues to seek a regular spot in the Pelicans rotation. For Angel Reese, the game served as another stop on a multi-city offseason break following the Atlanta Dream’s seven-game WNBA championship series against the Golden State Valkyries.
