Angel Reese Sets WNBA Single-Game, Season Rebound Records
Reese grabbed 26 rebounds against the Sparks, breaking a 22-year-old league mark and topping her own single-season rebounding record.
Angel Reese rewrote the WNBA record book twice in one night, pulling down 26 rebounds as the Atlanta Dream beat the Los Angeles Sparks 78-71 on Monday.
The 26 boards broke the single-game WNBA rebounding record of 24, set by Chamique Holdsclaw for Washington on May 23, 2003. In the same game, Reese pushed her season total to 458 rebounds, surpassing A'ja Wilson's 2024 single-season record by seven.
"Last time I was here, I didn't miss any shots. Tonight I couldn't hit (anything) so I knew I was going be able to get them on the rebounding side," Reese told the postgame show. "I just want to be there for my team. Offensively, defensively, whatever it takes to win."
Reese also recorded her WNBA-leading 27th double-double of the season, finishing with 11 points on a basket with 13.9 seconds left.
Dream guard Allisha Gray marveled at her teammate's rebounding. "That's a talent," Gray said. "I'm just in awe watching her rebound."
A three-time WNBA All-Star, Reese already held the WNBA rookie rebounding record at 13.1 per game and set the all-time league record with 15 straight double-doubles for Chicago in 2024. She led the league in rebounding in each of her first two seasons and is leading again this year, averaging 12.0 per game.
