Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese sets WNBA single-season rebounds record
View Date:2024-12-23 20:27:17
Angel Reese needed only 32 games to set a WNBA record. With eight games left to play in the regular season, she may have the chance to shatter it.
In a game Sunday against the Minnesota Lynx, Reese collected her 405th rebound of the year, setting a new WNBA single-season record and surpassing Sylvia Fowles' mark of 404 set in 2018.
Reese, 22, entered Sunday averaging nearly 13 rebounds per game. If she continues at that pace, she is projected to easily surpass 500 rebounds in this season.
Reese, the No. 7 overall selection in the 2024 WNBA draft, has established herself as a force in the paint for the Chicago Sky. While the team is battling to stay in the playoff picture, Reese has been a bright spot for Chicago and is competing with Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark in the chase for the WNBA Rookie of the Year award.
This comes just two days after Reese set a pair of rookie records in a loss against the Fever: the mark for most double-doubles (23) as a rookie and the most rebounds (399) in a single season — both of which were held by Tina Charles.
Entering Sunday, Reese had been averaging 13.2 points, 12,9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.
At halftime against the Lynx, Chicago (11-20) was facing a 39-32 deficit. Reese had four points on 2-of-5 shooting and added eight boards
