There was a new face for Washington Wizards like them hosted the Houston Rockets at Capital One Arena on Monday. However, the VNBA star Angel Reese could be quite familiar with him.

Her brother, Julian Reese, made his Wizards debut after previously spending a season with the Capitals’ Go-Go’s in the G League.

He started the game, but did not score his goal the first bucket until the third quarter. It was sure to be memorable because he did it against two-time All-Star Alperen Sengun.

The Wizards fell to the Rockets, 123-118. The 22-year-old Reese finished with two points, four rebounds, three steals and four turnovers in 28 minutes.

While there was some obvious trepidation, he showed some potential to contribute, especially on defense, given his size and length. Maybe she can ask her older sister for advice on how to improve her jump.

Elder Rees, who is is dating Orlando Magic’s Wendell Carter Jrshe expressed how thrilled she was for her little brother after he signed a two-way contract with Wizards. He went undrafted in 2025 out of Maryland.

“My little brother. Aww, I’m so proud of you! Your path has never been easy, and you’ve always stayed the course! Let’s go, Juju!” wrote 23-year-old Rees on Ks.

They were born just a year apart, so it’s no surprise that they have a close relationship. Basketball runs in their blood, as both their parents played professionally abroad.

With the Wizards in tanking mode, several players got a chance on the floor. Aside from Reese, guys like Will Riley, Sharif Cooper, Jameer Watkins and Jaden Hardy enjoyed the game.
