Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are competing against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever to start the season.

Reese and the Sky are looking to bounce back from a 13-27 season while the Fever are attempting to compete for a WNBA title with one of the deepest rosters in the league.

During the game against Clark and the Fever, Reese earned her a historic feat.

According to Polymarket Hoops, presented by StatMamba, Reese became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 450+ points and 450+ rebounds.

She picked up right where she left off last season, having already established herself as one of the best rebounders in the WNBA.

Last season with the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. She was the only rookie to average a double-double and led the WNBA in average rebounds.

Reese put her name on the top of the WNBA's pedestal in terms of forwards. Many believe it's the most talented position in the WNBA, with players like Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and A'ja Wilson and Reese played her way right into the mix.

Caitlin Clark was phenomenal herself last season.

The Indiana Fever star averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game. She led the Fever to a 20-20 record and a playoff appearance, having lost to the Connecticut Sun in the first round.

Clark also established herself as a league star early in her career, leading the WNBA in average assists and leading all first-year players in scoring, en route to winning the Rookie of the Year award.
