Reese wasn’t the only Sky rookie who shone in the team’s first game back from the WNBA’s break for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Kamilla Cardoso recorded 15 points and 14 rebounds in the Sky’s win, marking the WNBA-leading fourth time this season the duo have recorded matching double-doubles in the same night.

Angel Reese double double even on a hard night 🔥🔥🔥
Reese is now nine double-doubles shy of the WNBA single-season record of 28 set by Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas in 2023.

I know she don’t care about records…but I do 😏 another double double 😎
Reese went 4-of-13 from the floor and 6-of-8 from the foul line in the victory, but she stood out most for her defensive efforts.
The rookie pulled down 10 defensive rebounds on her way to the double double, and was also effective as a matchup with three-time All-Star Dearica Hamby.
