Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese set a WNBA record in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Lynx with her 10th consecutive double-double. She had 10 points and 16 rebounds.

When sports fans look back on the 2024 WNBA draft class, the Chicago Sky may be remembered as a team who got the steal of the century when they selected Angel Reese seventh overall. Reese on Sunday had 10 points and 16 rebounds in the 70-62 loss to the Minnesota Lynx. She made WNBA history as she recorded her 10th consecutive double-double. Reese broke Candace Parker’s mark after the former Los Angeles Sparks guard had nine straight in 2015.

The former LSU standout was 4 of 16 from the floor. She had five offensive rebounds. Minnesota clawed back to get the victory and showed why it's one of the best teams in the WNBA. Kyla McBride had 16 points, five rebounds and five assists in the win. Napheesa Collier had 13 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, four steals and three blocks. The Lynx improved to 14-4 on the season while Chicago fell to 6-11. Reese is the only player in her rookie class to average a double-double, and she is the only one to average at least two assists per game outside of Caitlin Clark before Sunday’s slate of games began.

Chicago is now on the outside of the playoff picture with the loss as the Indiana Fever topped the Phoenix Mercury, 88-82. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
