Angel Reese Shatters Candace Parker's Double-Double Record, Cementing Her Place in WNBA History

In an impressive display of talent and consistency, Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has set a new milestone in WNBA history. During a game against the Seattle Storm on Sunday, Reese recorded her 13th consecutive double-double, breaking the all-time record previously held by WNBA legend Candace Parker.

Reese was already nearing a double-double by halftime in the Sky's 84-71 loss to the Seattle Storm. She made history with a layup midway through the third quarter. Reese finished the game with an outstanding performance, tallying 17 points, 14 rebounds, and four steals.

The achievement came shortly after another historic moment for Reese, who had already made headlines the previous week. In a game against the Minnesota Lynx, she recorded her 10th straight double-double, surpassing Candace Parker’s record of nine consecutive double-doubles set at the end of the 2009 season. Parker, a two-time MVP, extended her streak to 12 at the start of the 2010 season, a record which Reese matched on Friday night before finally surpassing it on Sunday.

Angel Reese's remarkable consistency and dominance on the court highlight her as a rising star in the WNBA. Her ability to perform at such a high level game after game not only sets a new standard for rookies but also places her among the league's elite players. Congratulations to Angel Reese on this incredible achievement, cementing her place in WNBA history.
