Angel Reese ties WNBA record again with fourth-quarter surge against Aces originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese continues to make WNBA history. On Thursday, the rookie notched her ninth consecutive double-double, tying Candace Parker’s record for most consecutive double-doubles in a single season.
Reese was a standout player in the Sky’s 95-83 loss to the Aces, with nine of her points and three of her boards coming in the fourth quarter.
Reese was one of the most impressive rookies in the WNBA this year. She leads all freshmen with 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game. Her 13.5 points per game rank second among all WNBA rookies, behind only Caitlin Clark, who is averaging 16.3 points this year.
Last week, she set a new record by becoming the first rookie to record a double-double in seven consecutive games.
If she continues like this, Reese could have another major record to her name by the end of the season. She is on pace to break Yolanda Griffith’s record for most offensive rebounds in a single season. Griffith pulled down 162 offensive rebounds in 2001. With 76 offensive rebounds in 16 games, Reese is on pace for 190 this year.
