Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has been making waves in her debut WNBA season, setting records and consistently grabbing headlines with her outstanding performances. The 22-year-old has now added another remarkable achievement to her growing list of accolades by becoming the fastest player in league history to reach 20 double-doubles.
Despite the Chicago Sky’s 86-68 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, August 18, Reese managed to shine on the court. During the game, she recorded her fourth consecutive double-double, cementing her place in the WNBA history books. Reese reached the 20 double-double milestone in just 27 games, a feat that had never been accomplished so quickly before, according to Sports Illustrated.
Reese’s stats for the season are equally impressive. She is currently averaging 13.6 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 39.8%. These numbers underscore her impact on the court and her ability to consistently perform at a high level.
Since being selected by the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Reese, a former LSU star, has had a record-breaking rookie season. Earlier in the season, she became the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double, further solidifying her status as a rising star in the league.

In addition to her WNBA achievements, Reese has also made headlines by joining the burgeoning 3-on-3 basketball league, Unrivaled. On July 24, an official announcement on Instagram revealed that Reese had joined the league, which was created by fellow WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. The post, captioned “The Barbie is Unrivaled,” celebrated Reese’s entry into the new league, set to begin on October 30.
Reese is now the 10th WNBA player to join Unrivaled, joining a roster that includes stars like Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Rhyne Howard, Kahleah Cooper, and Jackie Young. The league plans to add 20 more players in the coming months, promising an exciting new chapter in women’s basketball.
Angel Reese’s rookie season has been nothing short of extraordinary. From setting records in the WNBA to expanding her influence in the world of basketball through Unrivaled, Reese is proving herself to be a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the court.
As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will be eagerly watching to see what new heights she will reach.
