In a game in Los Angeles, Angel Reese of the Atlanta Dream set two WNBA rebounding records in one night. She grabbed 26 rebounds against the Los Angeles Sparks, breaking the league's single-game record and also setting the season record. This was reported by infohub.kz.
Reese said that because she couldn't hit shots from long range this time, she focused more on rebounding. "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," she told the postgame show. "I just want to be there for my team. Offensively, defensively, whatever it takes to win."
Reese surpassed Chamique Holdsclaw's record of 24 rebounds, set on May 23, 2003, for Washington. Her season total now stands at 458 rebounds, seven more than A'ja Wilson's mark set in 2024. Reese secured her WNBA-leading 27th double-double of the season on a basket with 13.9 seconds left in the game that gave her 11 points.
"That's a talent," Dream guard Allisha Gray said. "I'm just in awe watching her rebound."
A three-time WNBA All-Star, Reese set a WNBA rookie record with 13.1 rebounds per game and the all-time league record with 15 straight double-doubles with Chicago in 2024. She led the league in rebounding her first two seasons and is leading again this season at 12.0 per game.
