Sky rookie Angel Reese reached yet another WNBA benchmark finishing with 19 points and 20 rebound against the Mercury on Sunday.
Angel Reese continues to re-write the WNBA history books. Back in June, the 22-year-old Chicago Sky broke the single-season record for consecutive double-doubles, set by Los Angeles Sparks legend Candace Parker in 2015.
Another week, another double-double
The Sky crashed to a 68-86 defeat to the Phoenix Mercury at the Footprint Center on Sunday but at least there was some consolation for Reese, who topped her team’s leaderboard, ending with 19 points, 20 rebounds and one assist – yet another double-double on the game log.
In doing so, she became the fastest player to reach 20 double-doubles in one season in WNBA history, reaching the milestone in just 27 games.
Way to go,
