Angel Reese just cemented herself deeper into WNBA lore by setting the longest active double‑double streak in league history.
“Angel Reese now has the longest active double‑double streak in the WNBA
” – ESPN on X
In Chicago’s 87–76 win over the Dallas Wings, Reese slammed down another 15 points and 11 rebounds. This extends her streak to seven straight and silences any question of her consistency.
This achievement is redefining expectations for forwards in the WNBA. Angel Reese is averaging an astonishing 17.0 boards over her last five games, dominating both ends of the glass and giving Chicago its much-needed interior presence.
Her presence has drawn attention from opponents and coaches alike. Sparks head coach Lynne Roberts couldn’t hide her awe:
“You know, Angel Reese is unbelievable on the rebounds. … She’s just elite.” – Lynne Roberts
Even in losses, like the tense 81–79 defeat to Washington, Angel Reese still notched 22 points and 15 rebounds. This stretches her streak to six before the Wings game. But her frustration with officiating revealed another side: this streak matters, and she expects her team to match her intensity.
Dominance at this level only comes once in a while. Angel Reese rewrote the records in 2024 after hitting a 15-game streak as a rookie. 2025, second season underway, same old story. History still being written.
Angel Reese capped off a monumental week after landing the NBA 2K26 WNBA cover and debuting her own signature shoe. And made sure fans knew exactly how she felt.
“COVERGIRL. THANK YOU,”

This social post came moments after the official unveiling, marking her second major brand milestone in mere days, adding to her breakthrough Vogue cover and Reebok deal.
The “Covergirl” moment signals a major shift. A 23-year-old WNBA star capturing global attention with two game-changing brand moves in a single week isn’t just rare—it’s historic.
She also joins a very exclusive list. Only a handful of WNBA players: A’ja Wilson, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu, and Candace Parker being the only WNBA players have ever appeared on an NBA 2K cover. Parker was the first to break that barrier back in the special edition of NBA 2K22.
Between the cover, the shoe, and her dominant play, Angel Reese is reshaping the narrative around women’s basketball stardom. Her story, her path, her way. The Bayou Barbie way.
