Reese set a WNBA record with 26 rebounds in the Atlanta Dream's
78-71 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday, pushing her
past the season record in the same game.
“Last time I was here, I didn’t miss any shots. Tonight I
couldn’t hit (anything) so I knew I was going be able to get
them on the rebounding side," Reese told the postgame show. "I
just want to be there for my team. Offensively, defensively,
whatever it takes to win.”
Reese surpassed Chamique Holdsclaw’s record of 24 rebounds, set
on May 23, 2003 for Washington. She now has 458 rebounds on the
season, seven more than A’ja Wilson’s mark set in 2024.
Reese secured her WNBA-leading 27th double-double of the season
on a basket with 13.9 seconds left in the game that gave her 11
points.
“That's a talent,” Dream guard Allisha Gray said. “I'm just in
awe watching her rebound.”
A three-time WNBA All-Star, Reese set a WNBA rookie record with
13.1 rebounds per game and the all-time league record with 15
straight double-doubles with Chicago in 2024. She led the league
in rebounding her first two seasons and is leading again this
season at 12.0 per game.
