Angel Reese Makes WNBA History Against Lynx

Angel Reese Makes WNBA History Against Lynx originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Chicago Sky came into Saturday’s home matchup against the Minnesota Lynx desperate to make it two straight wins and turn around an otherwise tough season that has not produced much winning despite Angel Reese’s incredible form. With the season heating up, all eyes were on whether the team’s brightest star could once again lift them when it mattered most.

From the opening tip, Reese looked determined to make her mark. She poured in 11 points on a near-perfect 5-of-6 shooting clip in the first quarter alone, powering Chicago to a 57-44 lead at halftime. She finished the first half with 15 points, five rebounds, and three assists — continuing to do it all on both ends of the floor.

Amid her dominant performance, Reese reached yet another milestone — becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to grab 250 rebounds in a single season.

It’s the latest record in what has already been a historic sophomore campaign. Earlier this season, Reese became the only player in league history to average 17 rebounds over a six-game span — and she’s done that feat four times.

Her consistent brilliance has not gone unnoticed. This week, Reese earned her second consecutive All-Star selection and was recently revealed as the WNBA cover athlete for NBA 2K26. That announcement came alongside her signature Reebok sneaker line — the Angel Reese 1 — reinforcing her growing status as one of the faces of the league.

Chicago will look to build on this momentum and finally snap their skid as they head into the second half, with Reese’s relentless rebounding and leadership leading the charge.
