Chicago Sky rookie forward Angel Reese made more WNBA history, setting a new record and breaking a mark once held by Chicago hoops legend Candace Parker.
Reese, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, registered her 13th consecutive double-double during Sunday’s game against the Seattle Storm, breaking the league’s record for most consecutive 10-10 games.
Reese had previously set the record for most double-doubles in a single season, but Sunday’s performance landed her the league’s all-time record, with Parker setting the mark in parts of the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
