Angel Reese, the seventh pick of the WNBA draft by the Chicago Sky, has been quietly making a name for herself in the league. On Thursday night, she made history by tying the WNBA record for most consecutive double-doubles in a single season.
In the Sky’s recent game against the Las Vegas Aces, Reese scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, marking her tenth straight game with double digits in both stats. This achievement ties her with WNBA legend Candace Parker for the record.
Reese’s impressive performance comes on the heels of a 25-point game where she scored 15 points in the fourth quarter to lead her team to victory. Her averages of 13.2 points and 11.1 rebounds per game put her in elite company in the league, with only A’ja Wilson ahead of her in the rebounding category.
With her background as a former LSU superstar and college national champion, Reese is proving to be a rising star in the WNBA. Despite the Sky’s 6-10 record, Reese’s consistent double-double performances are a bright spot for the team.
As fans and analysts continue to talk about standout players like Caitlin Clark, Reese is making sure her presence is felt on the court. Her ability to impact the game on both ends, scoring and rebounding at a high level, is a testament to her skill and work ethic.
With each game, Reese is solidifying her place among the top players in the league and proving that she is a force to be reckoned with. As she continues to make history, all eyes will be on Angel Reese as she looks to build on her impressive start to the season.
