Milwaukee Bucks star Grayson Allen saw his wife’s beach photos go viral on Sunday during an otherwise rough weekend.
Coming in, the top-seeded Bucks were slated to take on the Miami Heat in the first round of their Eastern Conference playoffs match-up.
Typically, the top-seeded team makes quick work of the No. 8 squad in the conference, but that wasn’t the case on Sunday. Not only did Miami outplay Milwaukee from start to finish, but the Bucks also lost their best player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, to injury.
Allen finished with 12 points on the day.
While his on-the-court production didn’t do much to impress fans, Allen’s wife’s viral photos definitely found a way to make an impression.
Morgan Reid, Allen’s better half, has become something of a celebrity online in recent months. She has nearly 200,000 followers on social media and routinely sets the internet ablaze with her photos.

It’s easy to see why she is such a star.
Big picture, did Reid get the same amount of attention as Austin Reaves’ girlfriend did this weekend? Obviously not. But that is because the latter played a pivotal role in the Lakers’ upset win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
Allen did not do the same for his squad.

That said, the Bucks should still win this series. Jimmy Butler is a menace in the playoffs, but Antetokounmpo is only day-to-day with a back contusion. By all accounts, there is no structural damage, which means that the former league MVP will likely return as soon as possible.
And as good as Butler is, he isn’t better than Antetokounmpo.
If the Bucks do advance past the Heat, expect Allen and Reid to continue to enjoy their current level of popularity online.
