Angel Reese is not the only one in her family making waves in the basketball world. Her brother Julian Reese made his mark on the court in his first NBA regular season with the Washington Wizards.

Angel has been a constant support to Julian since his first game in the NBA last month against the Houston Rockets, and she always appreciates his achievements on social media.

This time was no different. On Sunday, after Julian Reese played the final game of the season for the Wizards, Angel went on to quote a post by her mom, Angel Webb Reese, who boasted Julian's stats - averages of 11.2 points, 11.7 points, 2 assists, and a FG% of 51.8% in 13 games - with an emotional message.

"God don’t play bout our family! Blessings." Angel Reese wrote.

Julian Reese's NBA career has started in some fashion. It took him just three games to record his first double-double stat line against the Utah Jazz, and he added four more to that tally in a total of 13 games played.

Similar to his sister, Julian has made an immediate impact on boards. He finished the game against the Jazz with 18 points and 20 rebounds, including 10 offensive rebounds.

While the Wizards as a whole have been a disappointment and will not be participating in the playoffs, Julian's end-of-season heroics were in the spotlight. On Sunday, he scored 14 points in 18 minutes, besides three rebounds and steals each.

Angel Reese has made sure to always be on his brother's corner throughout his journey to the top, whether it was hyping him up online, giving him advice after games, or showing up courtside on his debut.

The Baltimore siblings grew up in a basketball-oriented family, which shaped their own future in the sport. Their mother, Webb Reese, played college basketball at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). She was the biggest influence on both of them and introduced them to the game.

Both Angel and Julian are also each other's biggest fans, as Julian showcased a special tribute to his sister with his choice of footwear.

Julian Reese Honours Sister Angel Reese with a Special Sneaker Tribute

Julian Reese left no doubt in anyone's minds as to where his priorities lie in just his second NBA game. The 22-year-old paid a heartfelt tribute to his sister Angel as he wore her signature shoe line, the Reebok AR1 sneakers designed by Angel herself, against the Orlando Magic.

Angel was not one to stay behind. She was seen wearing Julian's jersey no. 15 on her back during his early-season games against the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz.

With Angel now preparing for the new WNBA season starting in May with her new team, the Atlanta Dream, and Julian looking to build on the momentum he created in his short stint with the Wizards, the only way is up for the Baltimore siblings.
