    Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has become the fastest player in WNBA history to record 250 points, 200 rebounds, and 30 steals since 1999, per StatMamba on X.

    The first-year star out of LSU recently notched 17 points and 14 rebounds in the Sky's 84-71 loss to the Seattle Storm.

    Following the loss, Reese is averaging 14.1 points and a league-leading 11.9 rebounds. She's dealt with struggles in her rookie season, shooting 41.8% from the field, but the 6-foot-3 forward has established herself as one of the best players on the glass in the WNBA and is challenging Caitlin Clark for Rookie of the Year.

    Reese picked up her 13th straight double-double on Sunday with her stat line against the Storm. She passed WNBA legend Candace Parker for the most consecutive double-doubles in WNBA history, which was recorded from the span of the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

    The 22-year-old will be making a trip to Phoenix, Arizona, on July 20 for the WNBA All-Star game. She'll be playing alongside some of the best players in the game, including fellow rookie Clark. The Indiana Fever guard and Sky forward will take the floor at 8:30 p.m. ET, competing against Team USA's women's basketball team.

    Reese has been one of the best rookies the league has ever seen, continuously engraving her name in the record books. Her rookie stat line shows her incredible versatility, being able to impact both ends of the floor at a high level.

    Chicago's next matchup will take place Wednesday at Noon ET against the Atlanta Dream.
