Angel Reese continues to shine in her stellar WNBA rookie campaign by notching another record on Sunday.
Despite the Chicago Sky losing, 68-86, to the Phoenix Mercury, the former LSU star recorded her 20th double-double this season. Reese led the Sky in points and rebounds, with a 19-20 performance in their losing effort.
In doing so, Reese became the fastest player to achieve 20 double-doubles in a single season in WNBA history.
Her road to the feat included 15 straight double-doubles, during which she averaged 15.3 points and 13.2 boards per game. Despite the hot stretch ended in July, she continues to fill the stat sheet with 13 games left in the regular season.
However, while Reese tallied double-doubles in both meetings with the Mercury, the Sky has lost both meetings against Phoenix.

On the same night, Caitlin Clark broke the record for the most assists by a rookie in a season
Reese tallied 15 rebounds and 11 points against the Mercury on August 15 – a game that Chicago lost 85-65.
While Reese is winless against Phoenix this season, rival and fellow rookie Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever is 3-0 against Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi and Co.
Reese and the Sky will have one more chance to get one over Phoenix when they meet at Wintrust Arena on September 15.
With the curtains soon to be drawn on their first WNBA season, Clark and Reese are in a tight race for the Rookie of the Year honor.
Clark also got busy on Sunday and broke the record for most assists by a rookie in WNBA history.
Reese tallied 19 points and 20 rebounds, shooting 8-16, in a loss to the Phoenix Mercury
Clark tallied nine assists in a win over the Seattle Storm to break Ticha Penicheiro’s record
The former Iowa Hawkeye – who came into the game with 223 assists this season – added nine more to her tally and shattered the record with 12 games left before the playoffs.
The previous record was held by Ticha Penicheiro – who served up 225 assists in 1998 with the Sacramento Monarchs.
In their clashes so far this season, Clark and the Fever have gotten the best of Chicago, leading 2-1 in the regular season series. They will meet one more time before the playoffs on August 30.
The Fever are currently seventh in the league and third in the Eastern Conference with a 13-15 record. Meanwhile, the Sky hangs behind them in both standings at 11-16.
