The Chicago Sky haven’t had many reasons to celebrate this season given their 9-27 record and their sitting 12th out of 13 teams in the WNBA standings.
However, star forward Angel Reese has hit some personal milestones this year, serving as the few lone bright spots for Sky fans in an otherwise tumultuous season.
Already this season Reese became the quickest player to reach 450 points and 450 rebounds in WNBA history, and she became the first player in WNBA history to record 15 or more rebounds in four straight games.
And in Saturday’s 94-84 loss to the Connecticut Sun, Reese wrote her name in the WNBA record books again.
The 2024 Rookie of the Year runner-up finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists in 31 minutes, logging her 19th double-double of the season and 45th of her brief career, and putting her name on a new record in the process.

“🚨 HISTORY IN CHICAGO 🚨 With this bucket, Angel Reese notches her 45th career double-double — tying Tina Charles (2010–11) for the most ever across a player’s first two WNBA seasons.
“It’s her 19th of the season, tying Alyssa Thomas and A’ja Wilson for the league lead. Charles reached 45 in 68 games… Reese does it in just her 60th career game,” the WNBA wrote on X.
Since returning from a significant back injury that sidelined her for seven straight games, Reese has put up some impressive numbers. The 23-year-old has averaged 17 points, 9.3 rebounds, and four assists per game while playing on a minutes limit to minimize the risk of reinjuring her back.
While her rebound numbers (12.2 per game) are down slightly from her impressive rookie season (13.1 per game), Reese has improved as both a scorer and a passer — she’s averaging a full point per game and 1.7 assists more per game than she did last year.
