Angel Reese has the top three best rebounding seasons in history after third WNBA season
Angel Reese is establishing herself as the greatest rebounder in WNBA history after her third WNBA season. Reese has officially completed the third WNBA regular-season campaign of her career, leading the Dream to a 30-14 record and the No.
Angela Reese has solidified her place in WNBA history after her third season, leading her team to a 30-14 record and securing the No. 4 seed. As the regular season comes to a close, Reese is expected to be in the mix for Defensive Player of the Year honors. What sets Reese apart is her exceptional rebounding numbers. This season, she averaged 16.4 points and 12.1 rebounds, placing her third all-time in single-season rebounding averages.
Only two seasons rank higher: her second year with the Chicago Sky (2025) and her rookie year (2024), when she averaged 12.6 rebounds per game. The current leader is Reese herself, from her rookie season (2024), with an impressive 13.1 rebounds per game. Before Reese, Sylvia Fowles held the record for 11.8 rebounds per game in the 2018 WNBA season.
Reese's ability to average 12 or more rebounds in a season is rare, making her the only player in WNBA history to achieve this feat in her first three campaigns. While Reese is currently far from breaking the all-time rebounds total record, currently held by Tina Charles with 4,262, she is on track to do so if she maintains her current career average of 12.6 rebounds per game.
With the WNBA's growing number of regular-season games, Reese is set to break this record if her health holds up.
