The 2000 film “Love & Basketball” is about two old friends and pro basketball players who find themselves in an on-and-off relationship for years before finally marrying. The two characters, Quincy McCall and Monica Wright, eventually realize they can’t be without each other and tie the knot.

Oklahoma City Thunder star forward Kevin Durant seems to have found his very own Monica Wright. Her name? Monica Wright. Now that she’s engaged to Durant, Wright’s photo is going to be a lot more recognizable.

USA Today reported Sunday evening that the real-life Wright, a guard for the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx, confirmed their engagement after the Lynx’s game against the Phoenix Mercury. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune’s Kent Youngblood revealed the news in a tweet, saying, “Post-game Monica Wright confirmed reports that she and Kevin Durant are engaged. So there’s that.”

Durant was drafted in 2007 by the Seattle SuperSonics, now the Thunder. Wright was drafted by the Lynx in 2010. Both are 24 and both were drafted second overall.

Like the film, the two have known each other for quite some time, dating back to their simultaneous tenures as Washington, D.C. area high school basketball stars.

Durant and Wright originally met in 2006, at the McDonald’s High School All-American Game in San Diego, apparently bonding over the fact that they both hail from the D.C. metro area. Durant is from Rockville, Maryland and Wright from Woodbridge, Virginia. According to the Washington Post’s report on Monday, the two were the paper’s All-Met high school basketball players for the 2006 season (and graced different regional covers of the All-Met section), but couldn’t make the photo shoot. Otherwise, the Post’s Dan Steinberg says, they would have met there instead of in San Diego.

The two have been known to be friends since, but anything more romantic seems to have caught fans and sportswriters by surprise. Maybe it shouldn’t have, though, since Durant might have tipped them off in a tweet almost two years ago.

In September 2011, he tweeted “Or maybe I need a basketball playing girlfriend…hmmm lol…monica wright where r u (love n basketball).”

Truly a case of life imitating art.
