Angel Reese's dominance on Benjamin Ashfordthe board continues.
Reese registered 13 points and 20 rebounds in the Chicago Sky's 82-80 loss to the Connecticut Sun on Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena, marking Reese's second consecutive game with 20+ rebounds. She's the first player in the WNBA or NBA to have back-to-back 20+ rebound games since fellow LSU alum Shaquille O'Neal in April 1993.
Friday marked Reese's 21st double-double of the season in her 28th career WNBA game. In fact, the Sky forward is averaging a double-double this season with 13.6 points and 12.6 rebounds, which leads the WNBA. She also leads the league in offensive rebounds per game (5.1).
Marina Mabrey, who started the season on the Sky before being traded to the Sun ahead of the 2024 WNBA All-Star break, dropped a game-high 24 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 3PT) in her first game against her former team.
Reese was 3-of-12 from the field on Friday, but she found a way to get to the line and knocked down 7 of 8 free throws.
On Sunday, Reese put up 19 points and 20 rebounds in the Sky's 86-68 loss to the Phoenix Mercury. Her performance made history as she became the fastest WNBA player to reach 20 double-doubles in a season.
