Angel Reese continues to dazzle in her rookie season, and now she's made WNBA history.
In the third quarter of the Chicago Sky's 84-71 loss against the Seattle Storm, Reese got a put-back layup to give her 11 points and 11 rebounds in Sunday's contest, marking her 13th consecutive double-double, the most in WNBA history. The previous record of 12 by Candace Parker stretched from the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Reese finished the contest with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
The No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 draft has been remarkably consistent for the Chicago Sky this season. She's recorded a double-double in 14 of her first 20 career games, and she lead the league in rebounds at 11.7 boards per game. Her 13.9 points per game ranks second among rookies behind Caitlin Clark.
After she scored a career-high 27 points and added 10 rebounds during the Sky's 88-84 win over the Storm on Friday, Reese said she doesn't think about getting double-doubles.
"I just go out there and do my job. My job is to rebound, so I'm going to go out there and do my job and rebound. I know that's what my teammates need me to do, and I've committed to that," she said.
