Angel Reese sets WNBA record with 13th consecutive double-double

Angel Reese made WNBA history on Sunday night with her record 13th consecutive double-double.

[autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] is now in a league of her own.

With a 17-point, 14-rebound performance in a Chicago Sky loss to the Seattle Storm, Reese notched her 13th consecutive double-double in a row, surpassing Candace Parker for the most of any player in WNBA history. Reese had previously set the single-season consecutive double-doubles record.

Reese has had a huge rookie season, earning WNBA All-Star honors as she’s currently averaging a double-double with 13.9 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. She’s also on pace to set the league’s rookie record for double-doubles in a single season and is currently tied for fifth all-time in rookie double-doubles.

Reese and the Sky will be back in action on Wednesday to face the Atlanta Dream as she looks to extend the record.
