Angel Reese Sets New WNBA Record
Angel Reese just made WNBA history. The Chicago Sky forward became the fastest player to reach 30 double-doubles. She achieved this milestone in only 42 games. That breaks the previous record held by Tina Charles, who did it in 47 games.
Reese’s performance came during a tough 85-66 loss to the New York Liberty. Despite the score, she recorded 17 points and 11 rebounds, adding three assists and two steals.
What a Double-Double Means and Why It Matters
A double-double happens when a player gets double digits in two categories. This is usually points and rebounds. Reese has done that 30 times in less than two full seasons.
Only four other WNBA legends reached that milestone quickly: Tina Charles, Candace Parker, Natalie Williams, and Lisa Leslie. Reese beat them all. That’s a major sign of her impact so early in her career.
Her Stats Tell the Full Story
Reese leads the league in rebounds, averaging 12.1 per game. Her shooting, however, needs work—just 30.9% from the field this season. Still, she’s doing more than most in nearly every other stat.
The Sky as a team are struggling. With a 2-6 record and poor shooting numbers overall, the team has work to do. Their next shot comes against the Atlanta Dream, a strong 6-3 team.
Reese Shines Off the Court Too
Despite the Sky’s challenges, Reese is still winning. She recently took home the BET Sportswoman of the Year Award. She beat out stars like Coco Gauff, Simone Biles, and Sha’Carri Richardson.
Reese, who played at LSU, is showing the world she’s a force—on and off the court. Her win at the BET Awards highlights her growing influence beyond basketball.
What’s Next for Angel Reese?
The Sky will face the Atlanta Dream next. Fans will be watching to see if Reese adds another double-double to her growing total. Whether the team wins or loses, one thing’s clear: Angel Reese is building a legendary career, fast.
