    Angel Reese has another Chicago Sky franchise record under her belt.

    During the Sky's loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, Reese recorded the 118th offensive rebound of her debut season. The rookie sensation overtook the previous 117 mark set by former Chicago All-Star Silvia Fowles during the 2013 season.

    The Sky celebrated Reese's accomplishment with a social media post on Monday evening.

    "Joining elite company is just an everyday occurrence for @Reese10Angel at this point," the team wrote on X.

    Reese leads the entire WNBA in both total rebounds (12.3) and offensive rebounds (5.0) per game. She notched a new WNBA career high with 20 rebounds in Sunday's loss to the Mercury.

    The Sky are 1-2 since the midseason Olympic break, recording two losses to the Mercury and one win over the Los Angeles Sparks.

    Reese and the Sky will look to bounce back in their next matchup against the Connecticut Sun on Friday evening.
