Chicago – Angel Reese, a forward for the Chicago Sky, made history on July 22, 2025, by recording her 10th consecutive double-double during a 91-68 loss to the Minnesota Lynx. In this game, Reese achieved 11 points and 11 rebounds, bringing her to a total of 16 double-doubles for the season. With this impressive feat, she becomes the first player in WNBA history to have multiple streaks of ten or more double-doubles.
Despite the loss, Reese’s performance underscores her status as a key player in the league. This current streak follows her remarkable rookie season when she managed to achieve 15 consecutive double-doubles. However, the night was not without controversy, as Reese also accrued her seventh technical foul of the season, putting her just one foul away from a one-game suspension according to WNBA rules.
Leading the WNBA in both total rebounds and technical fouls, Reese’s seven technicals are unmatched, with the next closest player, Shakira Austin, having five. The WNBA’s policy stipulates that players who reach eight technical fouls during the regular season face an automatic one-game suspension.
Reese’s rebounding abilities have already earned her a place in the record books, having set a previous record for total rebounds in a season with 446 rebounds in 2024, a statistic that places her just behind last season’s MVP, A’ja Wilson. This season, in addition to her ongoing double-double streak, Reese averages 14 points, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game, further showcasing her well-rounded skills on the court.
Though the Chicago Sky faced a defeat in the game against the Lynx, Reese’s continual high-level performance indicates that she has established herself as a formidable presence in the WNBA. In recognition of her skills, she was named an All-Star for the second consecutive year and played a crucial part in the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, contributing 6 points and 9 rebounds in limited minutes.
Reese’s growing profile both on and off the court has also seen her capitalizing on her notoriety. She recently trademarked the term “Mebounds,” which originally emerged as a mocking term but has now been transformed into a business opportunity, further establishing her marketability.
As she progresses in her second season, Reese’s performance metrics show a significant improvement, with her average assists per game rising from 1.9 in her rookie season to 3.8. This growth not only highlights her development as a player but also points to her importance as a leader on the team.
With her groundbreaking achievements and potential for further records, Angel Reese is poised to continue making waves in the WNBA, firmly placing herself in the conversation about the league’s most impactful players. As the season unfolds, fans and analysts alike will closely watch Reese’s journey as she navigates the challenges ahead, both as a competitor and a crucial member of the Chicago Sky.
