Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky continues to solidify her legacy as one of the greatest rebounders in WNBA history, despite her team’s 100-81 loss to the Indiana Fever on Friday night.
In just 31 games, the 22-year-old rookie recorded her 23rd double-double of the season, setting a new WNBA record for the most double-doubles in a single season.
Reese’s performance on the court has been nothing short of extraordinary, with her averaging an impressive 12.9 rebounds per game.
If she maintains this average, she will break the WNBA record for the highest rebounds per game in a single season, surpassing Sylvia Fowles’ 11.88 rebounds per game in 2018.
Reese’s rebounding prowess has already placed her among the WNBA’s elite, but her impact goes beyond the numbers. Her relentless effort on the glass is quickly making her one of the most transcendent talents in the league.
However, Reese’s game is not without its flaws.
While her rebounding numbers are historic, her offensive game remains a work in progress. Her shooting percentages—38% from the field, 18% from beyond the arc, and 73% from the free-throw line—indicate room for improvement.
Despite these challenges, Reese’s rebounding ability ensures her place in any team’s starting lineup, and at just 22 years old, she has plenty of time to develop her offensive skills.
Reese’s journey is a testament to her determination and potential, as she continues to make history in the WNBA and cements her status as a dominant force on the court.
