'Double-Double' Machine Angel Reese Makes WNBA History In Blowout Loss To Lynx

Angel Reese is recognized as a talented player within the WNBA, despite having detractors who criticize her for attracting attention. The Chicago Sky forward is particularly known for her strong rebounding ability, which makes her a consistent threat to achieve "double-doubles" (double-digit stats in two categories, typically points and rebounds).

In a recent game against the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night, Reese made WNBA history by recording her 10th consecutive double-double (11 points, 11 rebounds). This achievement makes her the only player in league history with multiple streaks of 10 or more consecutive double-doubles. However, her individual performance did not prevent her team, the 7-16 Sky, from losing the game 91-68.

The article notes that while Reese can score and rebound effectively, she is also prone to making some notably bad plays. Furthermore, her ongoing rivalry with WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark has often overshadowed her individual accomplishments, making them seem less significant in comparison. Reese holds several WNBA records, including most consecutive double-doubles in a season (15 in 2024), most double-doubles by a rookie in a season (26 in 2024), and most rebounds in a season (446).
