Chicago – In a historic performance, Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky recorded her 10th consecutive double-double during a game against the Minnesota Lynx on July 22, 2025, despite her team’s 91-68 loss. Reese, who scored 11 points and secured 11 rebounds in the match, now boasts a season total of 16 double-doubles, making her the first player in WNBA history to have multiple double-double streaks of 10 or more.
Reese’s remarkable feat follows her pursuit of excellence in her second season. During her rookie year, she set a record by achieving 15 consecutive double-doubles, and now she has cemented her place in the league for a second time. This streak highlights her exceptional skills and consistency on the court.
On the same night, Reese also faced controversy after picking up her seventh technical foul of the season, placing her one foul away from a one-game suspension as per WNBA regulations. The leading player in total rebounds and technical fouls, Reese’s seven technicals surpass those of the next closest player, Shakira Austin, who has five. Under WNBA rules, a player is suspended for one game after their eighth technical foul during the regular season.
Despite the setback in the match, Reese’s performance reinforces her status as a top player in the league, as she averages 14 points, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game thus far in the season. In the previous 2024 season, she broke records with 446 rebounds, finishing just behind MVP A’ja Wilson in that category.
In addition to her impressive on-court performance, Reese has gained attention in the media for turning a potentially mocking term into a business opportunity by trademarking the term “Mebounds.” Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has recognized this entrepreneurial spirit, highlighting how Reese is not just a player but also capitalizing on her brand.
Reese’s contributions to the game have not gone unnoticed. She was named an All-Star for the second consecutive year and played a key role during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, contributing 6 points and 9 rebounds despite limited playing time. Her improvement in assists from an average of 1.9 in her rookie year to 3.8 this season showcases her growing versatility as a player.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how Reese will navigate the challenges posed by her growing number of technical fouls and continue to build upon her remarkable record. With her standout performances, Reese is rapidly establishing herself as one of the most formidable players in WNBA history.
