Angel Reese, forward for the Chicago Sky, has made WNBA history by recording her 10th consecutive double-double despite her team’s loss to the Minnesota Lynx. This achievement marks her as the first player in WNBA history to accomplish multiple streaks of ten or more double-doubles. Reese continues to lead the league in total rebounds while also facing the risk of suspension due to accumulating technical fouls. As she grows in her second season, her impact on the game and business reflects her evolving presence in the sport.

Chicago – Angel Reese, forward for the Chicago Sky, has made WNBA history by recording her 10th consecutive double-double in a game against the Minnesota Lynx on July 22, 2025, despite the team’s 91-68 loss. In this match, Reese managed to score 11 points and secure 11 rebounds, bringing her total double-doubles for the season to 16.

This remarkable achievement makes Reese the first player in WNBA history to accomplish multiple streaks of 10 or more double-doubles. Her initial streak occurred during her rookie season, where she achieved an impressive 15 consecutive double-doubles.

However, the game also highlighted a darker side of Reese’s performance as she picked up her seventh technical foul of the season. A player is suspended for one game after receiving their eighth technical foul, meaning she is now one misconduct away from facing a suspension due to WNBA policies.

In terms of overall performance in the league, Reese leads the WNBA in both total rebounds and technical fouls, having seven technicals compared to Shakira Austin, who follows with five. This indicates not only her physical prowess on the court but also the intensity with which she plays. Throughout the ongoing season, Reese has been averaging 14 points, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game.

Despite the team’s loss against Minnesota, Reese’s consistent performance continues to showcase her evolution as a key player within the league. In her second season, her average assists have remarkably increased from 1.9 to 3.8 per game compared to her rookie year, indicating her growth in playmaking abilities.

Reese’s previous accomplishments include breaking records for total rebounds in a season, having finished the 2024 season with 446 rebounds, just behind MVP A’ja Wilson. Her contribution to team dynamics has also earned her recognition as an All-Star for the second consecutive year. During the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, she made impactful contributions even with limited playing minutes, scoring 6 points and grabbing 9 rebounds.

In a unique turn of events, recent media athletic and business figure Dave Portnoy applauded Reese for her successful trademarking of the term “Mebounds.” This term, originally used in a mocking context, has now been transformed into a business opportunity, signifying Reese’s growing influence beyond just on-court success.

As Reese continues to build her career, the combination of her statistical prowess and her controversial play style remains a topic of interest in the WNBA. The balance between demonstrating strong, competitive play while adhering to league rules will be a critical focus for Reese as the season progresses. With fans eagerly watching, Reese’s future performances will likely keep her in the spotlight both for her skills and her innovative approach to branding within the sport.
