Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese set a single-season record for most consecutive double-doubles in WNBA history on Sunday.

Through her fingers, Reese’s mother watched nervously as her daughter made the second of two free throws to break the previous record, set by Candance Parker in 2015.
Reese finished with 10 points and 16 rebounds in the Sky’s loss to the Minnesota Lynx, which brought their record to 6-11. The team has won just three games at home this season.
Despite her team’s struggles, Reese may be the most impressive rookie in the WNBA this season.
She averaged 11.4 rebounds per game, the highest in the league, and her 13.3 points per game ranks second among rookies, trailing only Caitlin Clark who averages 16.2 points per game.
