New Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese is one proud sister.
On Sunday, Reese sent out a heartfelt message for his brother, Washington Wizards forward Julian Reese, who just completed his rookie season in the NBA.
Angel made sure to let Julian feel that his effort to get to where he is today is acknowledged and appreciated.
“Proud of you, brother! Your journey hasn’t been easy at all – 4 years in college, going undrafted, playing in the G League, and now finishing your season on a two-way,” Angel wrote in an Instagram Story post.
Angel believes brighter days are ahead for Julian, who went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft after playing four seasons with the Maryland Terrapins in college.
“We both know the bigger picture and what’s already on the way – it’s only a matter of time. But I just want to give you your flowers for how you started. You’ve made a name for yourself, and you’re only scratching the surface. Big sis always rocking with you, no matter what. TIME FOR MORE,” Angel added.

Julian started his NBA journey by joining the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2025 NBA Summer League before inking an Exhibit 10 contract with the Toronto Raptors.
He also had stints in the G League with the Raptors 905 and Capital City Go-Go before finally getting the call from the Washington Wizards for his NBA debut in a late-February game against the Houston Rockets.
Like her sister, Julian was a rebounding machine for the Wizard, averaging 10.5 boards to go with 11.8 points in 13 games.
