Angel Reese Makes Historic Double-Double Record in Sky’s Loss to Aces
Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky faced a tough defeat against the Las Vegas Aces, losing 95-83 on Thursday night at home. Despite the loss, Reese made WNBA history with another remarkable double-double performance.
The former LSU star, selected as the No. 7 pick in last April’s WNBA draft, finished the game with 18 points and 11 rebounds. This marked her ninth consecutive double-double, tying her with Candace Parker for the most consecutive double-doubles in a single season. Additionally, Reese became the youngest player in WNBA history to achieve nine straight double-doubles.
Reese’s standout performance during this streak occurred last Sunday when she recorded 25 points and 16 rebounds in a victory over Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.
As Reese continues to make her mark in the league, she will aim for more history when the Sky host the Minnesota Lynx at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. With her consistent performances, Reese is proving to be a rising star and a significant asset to the Chicago Sky.
