Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese had a bounce-back performance on Tuesday night against the New York Liberty. Scoring just four points in a loss to the Indiana Fever on Saturday, Reese responded with a double-double in Barclays Center, which was her fourth of the year.

The loss dropped Chicago to 2-6, while New York remained perfect at 9-0 to keep pace with the undefeated Minnesota Lynx. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Reese's performance on Tuesday was not only her best of the season, but it also made WNBA history. After the game, the league announced she is now the fastest player to reach 30 career double-doubles, doing so in just 42 games. The previous fastest was Tina Charles who did so in 47 games. Advertisement The Sky reacted to this announcement from the league by reposting it on X, sharing the WNBA's acknowledgement of their 23-year-old forward. Reese is no stranger to making WNBA history, particularly with her ability to tally double-doubles. The 2024 All-Star set an all-time record last season with 15 straight double-doubles, and also set the league's single-season rookie record in that category. With her performance on Tuesday, Reese raised her season averages to 12.1 rebounds, 10.1 points and 2.6 assists in eight games. If these were to hold, Reese would make it consecutive seasons in which she averaged a double-double.

Angel Reese Records Her Fourth Double-Double of the Season
Angel Reese Records Her Fourth Double-Double of the Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Angel Reese has established herself as the top rebounder in the WNBA. Her skills were evident once more on Tuesday when the Chicago Sky faced off against the New York Liberty. While the result wasn't what any Sky supporter hoped for, this team is still young and has significant potential for development. Players such as Hailey Van Lith and Kamilla Cardoso are set to rise, and Reese is already demonstrating franchise-level talent. The three-time BET Sportswoman of the Year arguably delivered her finest performance of the season against the Liberty. She was a playmaker on offense with three assists and secured a couple of steals thanks to her aggressive defense. The Sky have faced challenges, now sitting at 2-6 for the season, with their only victories against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings, who currently hold a record of 1-9. Despite the relentless wave of online negativity aimed at her, the former LSU Tigers star continues to motivate her teammates.

The real KNOW the REAL…I really hope that check be worth the amount of lies yall make up EVERYDAY 🤣😭i REALLYYYYY hope.' Reese finished the game with 17 points and 11 rebounds, shooting 8-13 from the field. Although the Sky fell a little short against the reigning WNBA champions, Angel has no reason to feel disappointed. She certainly more than proved her worth tonight and looked to be one of the top players on the court. Chicago will be back in action on Friday as they head to Atlanta to face the Dream.
