Angel Reese walked into Chase Center for Game 5 of the WNBA Finals with Jordyn Woods' orange Tux Clutch Mini bag on her shoulder, the same bag that traveled with the New York Knicks during their 2026 NBA Finals run.

The Atlanta Dream guard paired the bag with a black T-shirt from Be The Roses, also called BTR, printed with 'Protect Black Women.' Black flared pants, flat black thong sandals, small dark sunglasses, a gold bracelet, a delicate necklace, and wired earbuds completed the outfit. Her hair was pulled back in a long, curly ponytail.

The WNBA posted video of arrivals on Oct. 26. The Woods by Jordyn account commented on it with one word: 'Obsessed.'

Game 5 followed a series tied 2-2. Atlanta was playing for its first WNBA championship. In the Dream's two wins, Reese scored 30 points and 21 points.

The Tux Clutch Mini in 'Summer Citrus' became a good-luck charm during the Knicks' 2026 championship run. The Knicks lost Game 3 of the NBA Finals while a no-bag policy kept the bag at home. After New York won the title, the bag sold out. It later went to the Guggenheim.

Woods released a limited-edition 'Trophy Gold' version of the bag at the Knicks' season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 20. She wore it with a tan suede jacket, diamond jewelry, and a slicked-back ponytail. Karl-Anthony Towns posed with the gold bag at that game.

Woods told Essence she made the gold bag to honor the trophy. 'I was just feeling the gold,' she said. 'I popped out with my new Woods by Jordyn bag in gold to honor the trophy.'

The gold bag carries a price of $155. It will be sold at the Woods by Jordyn pop-up in SoHo on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.

Fans reacted to Reese's arrival on the WNBA's Oct. 26 post. One wrote, 'Is that THEEE bag!? Let's go!' Another asked for 30 points from Reese that night. A third noted the flat sandals: 'She ain't come to play today!!! No heels. She about to get busy!!!!!'
