Angel Reese first in WNBA with consecutive 20-rebound games #wnba #basketballplayer #skytown

Angel Reese on Friday night became the first WNBA player to record at least 20 rebounds in consecutive games.The star rookie, who has made her mark all season with her rebounding prowess, had 13 points and 20 rebounds in the Chicago Sky's 82-80 loss to the Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. On Sunday, she had 19 points and 20 rebounds in an 86-68 loss at Phoenix.The last time an NBA rookie posted back-to-back 20-rebound games was in April 1993, when the Orlando Magic's Shaquille O'Neal had 21 against the Boston Celtics and 25 against Washington. Like Reese, O'Neal played collegiately at LSU, and he has been a big supporter of her. Reese helped lead LSU to the school's first basketball national championship in 2023.Reese's double-double Friday was her 21st of the WNBA season. That's one shy of tying Tina Charles for the most by a WNBA rookie; Charles' 22 came in 2010 for Connecticut.
