Angel Reese Could Accomplish Something No One in WNBA History Ever Has
Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese is hot on the trail of taking down one impressive WNBA record.
Angel Reese, a forward for the Atlanta Dream, is on the verge of breaking a significant WNBA record with her impressive performance this season. The team is currently in fifth place in the standings with a 22-13 record. Reese's contributions have been pivotal to the Dream's success, as she played a key role in their recent 97-82 victory over the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces.
Her performance in that game included a 21-point, 10-rebound display, marking her ninth consecutive game with double-digit rebounds and her 24th double-double of the season. This performance has moved her into third place all-time in the WNBA for double-doubles, behind only Alyssa Thomas in 2023 and Reese herself in 2024. ESPN Insights reported that Reese is just five games away from not only breaking the league record for most double-doubles in a season but also potentially becoming the first player to achieve 30 double-doubles in a single season.
With nine regular-season games remaining before the playoff start in late September, Reese's current trend of recording a double-double in 70% of her games could see her achieve the record. Reese, who joined the Atlanta Dream in a blockbuster offseason trade from the Chicago Sky, has had a standout season, averaging a career-best 15.7 points, 1.7 steals, and 12.0 rebounds per game.
