The new season of ‘Basketball Wives’ is set to premiere in less than two weeks, and according to reports, fans will be seeing two familiar faces.
One of the show’s OG’s Royce Reed reportedly is returning according to The Jasmine Brand who reported the news on Thursday (June 20).
The outlet revealed that her storyline and the extent of her return, including the number of episodes she will appear in and her role within the cast, have not yet been revealed.
