Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky rookie, made WNBA history by becoming the fastest player to achieve 20 double-doubles in a single season.
Reese’s record-breaking performance came just hours after Caitlin Clark also made headlines, highlighting the intense rivalry between the two standout rookies.
Despite the Sky’s loss on Sunday, Reese delivered a stellar individual performance, racking up 20 rebounds and 19 points, marking yet another double-double in her already impressive rookie campaign.
She now leads the league with an average of 12.3 rebounds per game and has accumulated the most double-doubles this season, showcasing her dominance on the boards.
Earlier in the day, Caitlin Clark set the rookie single-season record for assists with 225, further intensifying the competition between the two.
The pair have faced off multiple times since their college days, where they developed a rivalry with LSU and Iowa in back-to-back NCAA tournament showdowns.
While Clark remains the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year, Angel Reese’s consistent rebounding and record-setting achievements continue to solidify her place in WNBA history.
The battle for playoff spots and individual accolades keeps the spotlight on these two rising stars as they build on their college rivalry at the professional level.
