Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese Makes WNBA History
Angel Reese has done it again. The Chicago Sky forward just made WNBA history by becoming the fastest player ever to record 30 career double-doubles.
Despite her team’s 85-66 loss to the New York Liberty, Reese shined with 17 points and 11 rebounds. She also added three assists and two steals. What makes this performance special? She reached 30 double-doubles in just 42 games—beating Tina Charles’ previous record of 47 games.
Reese Outpaces WNBA Legends
Reese’s achievement puts her ahead of some of the greatest players in WNBA history. Legends like Candace Parker and Natalie Williams needed 56 games to hit 30 double-doubles. Lisa Leslie, another all-time great, took 58 games.
The 22-year-old is also leading the league in rebounds this season, averaging 12.1 per game. However, her shooting struggles continue, with just a 30.9% field goal percentage so far.
Sky’s Struggles Continue Despite Reese’s Efforts
Reese’s historic night couldn’t save the Sky from another tough loss. The team now sits at 2-6 this season. Their shooting woes are a big problem—they’re hitting only 42.4% from the field and a dismal 26.1% from three-point range.
This was their second blowout loss to the Liberty. Back on May 22, New York crushed them 99-74. Still, Reese remains a bright spot for Chicago as she continues to rewrite the record books.
Reese Wins BET Sportswoman of the Year
While her team struggles, Reese keeps winning off the court. She recently took home the BET Sportswoman of the Year Award, beating out stars like A’ja Wilson, Coco Gauff, and Simone Biles.
The former LSU standout has quickly become one of the most recognizable faces in women’s sports. Her dominance on the boards and relentless energy make her a fan favorite.
What’s Next for Angel Reese and the Sky?
Reese and the Sky will look to bounce back in their next game against the Atlanta Dream on June 13. The Dream, currently 6-3, will be another tough test for Chicago.
If Reese keeps playing at this level, more records could fall soon. Fans will be watching closely to see what she does next.
