Angel Reese has set two new records in the WNBA: most rebounds in a single game and most rebounds in a single season. On Monday night, Reese collected 26 rebounds during the Atlanta Dream's 78-71 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks, surpassing the previous single-game record of 24 rebounds set by Hall of Famer Chamique Holdsclaw in 2003.
Moreover, Reese broke the single-season mark of 451 rebounds, previously held by A’ja Wilson since 2024. In her first season with the Dream, Reese has gathered 458 rebounds. Despite a poor shooting performance during the game, Reese dominated on the boards, securing 18 defensive rebounds and eight offensive rebounds. Dream head coach Karl Smesko praised Reese's steady improvement throughout the season.
The player has led the WNBA in rebounds per game in each of her three seasons, topping the charts with a 13.1 average last year. Reese is currently on a high note in her career, leading the team to a perfect road trip, clinching a playoff berth for the fourth consecutive season, and representing Team USA at the upcoming FIBA World Cup.
