Angel Reese Breaks WNBA’s Single Season Rebounding Record

Angel Reese broke the WNBA single-season rebounding record on Sunday, as she also had her 24th double-double in the Sky’s 79-74 loss at Minnesota. Reese also said she was unaware of the record, which was previously held by Sylvia Fowles. Fowles is the WNBA’s career rebounding leader with 4,006 in 408 regular-season games.

Reese grabbed 19 rebounds on Sunday, bringing her total to 418 through 32 games.

“When I got into (the WNBA), I just knew my engine,” Reese said. “Offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding is something I know I can do all the time. I knew it was going to work right away.

“A lot of people think it’s because I get my own (misses), but statistically that’s not true. People think it’s because I’m the tallest on the court, and that’s not true. It’s because I can get down there and bang, do things that a lot of people don’t want to do. Defense and rebounding win championships. And I’ve won championships at every level just doing that.”
