Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has entered the chat.
During Tuesday’s installment of the “Show Me Something” podcast, Cunningham reacted to Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese’s “NBA playoffs love triangle,” as Reese’s boyfriend, the Magic’s Wendell Carter Jr., and her ex, the Pistons’ Jalen Duren, clashed and guarded each other in the first-round playoff series.
Reese previously reshared videos of Carter dunking on Duren to her Instagram Story, which sent NBA Twitter into a frenzy.
“Something had to have happened for [Reese] to keep, I don’t know, wanting to embarrass him in some way,” Cunningham said.
“Or nothing happened,” said West Wilson, who is Cunningham’s co-host and “Summer House” star in the middle of a public cheating scandal.
“Then move on, worry about current boyfriend,” Cunningham replied.
Wilson added that Duren, whose production dipped in the series, is “in his head.”
The Pistons center averaged 19.5 points in the regular season but that has dipped to 10.6 points over eight postseason games.
Detroit advanced after coming back from a 3-1 series deficit.
Reese and Carter tend to keep their relationship private.
Duren and Reese were a rumored couple in the summer of 2024, when the pair shared videos on social media from what seemed to be a similar vacation setting.
They never confirmed the relationship publIcly.
“A messy NBA storyline involving Angel Reese and her ex, the Detroit Pistons’ Jalen Duren vs. current boyfriend, the Orlando Magic’s Wendell Carter Jr., … while they’re literally guarding each other in a playoff series,” the description of the “Show Me Something” video read.
