With eight games remaining on the year, Chicago Sky rookie phenom Angel Reese has set the WNBA record for the most rebounds in a single season.
Angel Reese has rewritten the WNBA record books. Entering Sunday, the former LSU star had 399 rebounds on the season, needing just six more to make history. After grabbing her sixth board of the afternoon, the rookie set the all-time WNBA record for the most rebounds in a single season.
Reese surpassed Sylvia Fowles' record of 404 she set in 2018. Fowles beat the record by one just a year after Jonquel Jones recorded 403. Even more impressively is that Reese accomplished the feat in just 23 games. After Sunday, she has eight games to go in the season, so the record will wind up having been absolutely shattered. Going into Sunday, Reese's 12.9 rebounds per game were the most in the league.
After her prowess in college, the Chicago Sky selected her as the seventh overall pick in the WNBA Draft. She and Clark were the only rookies to be named to the WNBA All-Star Game in July. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
