Reese makes 20 rebounds

Angel Reese, a rookie for the Chicago Sky, made history by becoming the first player in WNBA history to achieve 20 rebounds in back-to-back games, matching a feat last accomplished in the NBA by Shaquille O'Neal in 1993. Despite her record-setting performance, the Sky lost to the Connecticut Sun 82-80, marking their third loss in four games. Reese had 13 points and 20 rebounds in the game, contributing to her season average of 12.6 rebounds per game, which is on track to be the highest in WNBA history. She also recorded her 21st double-double of the season, just one shy of tying Tina Charles for the most by a rookie. In her previous game, she similarly tallied 19 points and 20 rebounds against the Phoenix Mercury. Reese leads the league in both total and offensive rebounds, positioning herself to break existing records as the season progresses.
