The rookie forward is having an incredible season so far.
Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky has accomplished something that no other player in WNBA history has ever done.
In Thursday’s game against the Dallas Wings, Reese made WNBA history by becoming the first rookie to earn a double-double in seven straight games with an offensive rebound and layup in the third quarter.
The Sky defeated the Wings 83-72 to snap a four-game losing streak, led by a game-high 16 points and 18 rebounds from Reese.
Reese has come into her own at the professional level over the past month. Since June 1, she’s averaged 13.4 points per game with 12.8 rebounds.
Over the full season, Reese leads all rookies with 10.8 rebounds per game. Her Sky teammate Kamilla Cardoso is second with 6.9 rebounds per game. Reese also leads all rookies with 1.9 steals per game. Her 12.4 points per game rank second among all WNBA rookies, trailing only Caitlin Clark, who’s averaging 16.3 points this year.
