Angel Reese Makes WNBA History Against Minnesota Lynx

Still missing starting center Kamilla Cardoso, who is with the Brazil national team, Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky eyed a second straight win after a full week of no action.

On Sunday night, Reese and the Sky continued a four-game road trip, facing Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx.

Coming into the night, Reese had totaled 647 rebounds through 50 games in her two-year WNBA career. With 8:24 remaining in the second quarter, she grabbed a rebound off a missed free throw by Jessica Shepard. It was her third board of the game and the 650th of her career.

In doing so, Reese now becomes the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 650 career rebounds, accomplishing this in only 51 games.

The previous record holder belonged to Connecticut Sun center Tina Charles. The ex-UConn forward accomplished this back in 2011 during her first stint with the Sun, achieving 650 rebounds in 58 games. It may be important to note that Charles is also the WNBA's all-time leader in rebounds.

Not only did Reese break the rebounding record, but by entering Sunday’s game with 661 points, she also became the fastest player to reach both 650 points and 650 rebounds, surpassing another mark previously held by Charles, who also achieved this in 58 games.

It seems Reese has broken some sort of record in every game she has played since joining the WNBA last year. Her biggest may have been breaking the single-season rebounding record in her rookie year. But an injury allowed Las Vegas Aces forward A'ja Wilson to steal the record for herself.

Following the Lynx game, the Sky will be back in action on Tuesday, facing the Washington Mystics in the final game of the road trip.
