Reese Makes WNBA History with Double Rebounding Records
Angel Reese sets WNBA rebounding records with 26 rebounds in Dream's win over Sparks.
The update
Angel Reese made WNBA history on Monday, setting both the single-game and single-season rebounding records in the Atlanta Dream’s 78-71 win over the Los Angeles Sparks. Reese collected 26 rebounds, surpassing Chamique Holdsclaw’s 2003 single-game record of 24. She also broke A’ja Wilson’s single-season record of 451 rebounds, finishing with 458 rebounds in 37 games this season.
Why it matters
This performance further establishes Reese as one of the league’s premier rebounders and demonstrates her continued growth since joining the Dream. The records come during a crucial stretch as the Dream secured a playoff berth with a 4-0 West Coast road trip. Reese’s dominance on the boards has been consistent throughout her career, leading the league in rebounding her first two seasons and on pace to do so again this year.
What to watch
Reese is one double-double shy of tying Alyssa Thomas’ single-season record. With the playoffs approaching, all eyes will be on whether she can continue this historic rebounding pace and how it impacts the Dream’s postseason performance.
