Angel Reese makes WNBA history with a record that will be tough to top
Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese made WNBA history with an unprecedented statistical feat that may stand untouched for years to come.
The 2026 WNBA season has seen several record-breaking performances from players across the league. However, Angel Reese has made a significant mark with her own record. On Thursday night, during the Atlanta Dream's 36-point win over the Los Angeles Sparks, Reese broke a WNBA single-season record. With four offensive rebounds in the game, her season total climbed to 173, surpassing her previous mark of 172 set during the 2024 WNBA season.
As the Dream has eight games left in the regular season, Reese's record could be set in such a manner that it will be extremely difficult for anyone to surpass in the near future. Remarkably, the previous high mark before 2004 was held by Yolanda Griffith in the 2001 season. This record-breaking performance underscores Reese's unique ability to remain active on the offensive glass, a feat that hasn't been seen in the WNBA prior to her arrival.
