Angel Reese May Be Outpacing What Chicago Sky Can Offer

On Tuesday evening in Minnesota, Angel Reese etched her name in WNBA history yet again, recording her 10th successive double-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 assists during a 98-61 defeat to the Lynx. This landmark feat underscores her unique position as the only player in WNBA history to achieve multiple streaks of ten or more consecutive double-doubles. Despite the Chicago Sky’s disappointing 7-16 record this season, Reese's extraordinary rebounding abilities remain a highlight. Critics may label her as a “me-bounding” stat-padder, yet her performance metrics tell a compelling story.Leading the league in rebounds, Reese has obliterated numerous rookie records in 2024, including the most double-doubles by a rookie at 26 and the single-season total rebounds record at 446. Excitingly, she also holds the season record for consecutive double-doubles, totaling 15. Even though the Sky's defeat didn’t alter standings, Reese's persistence points toward her promising legacy amidst scrutiny.
