Angel Reese’s mom witnessed her daughter make WNBA history as she set a single-season record for most-consecutive double-doubles in league history. The moment happened with only 23.2 seconds left in the game, and cameras caught her mother’s live reaction to the feat. Through her nervous fingers, Reese’s mom watched as her daughter drained a free throw to surpass the previous record set by Candance Parker in 2015.
Despite the Chicago Sky’s struggles this season, Reese has been a standout rookie in the WNBA. She leads the league with 11.4 rebounds per game and ranks second among rookies in points per game. Reese finished the game with 10 points and 16 rebounds in the Sky’s loss to the Minnesota Lynx, bringing their record to 6-11. The team has only won three games at home this season.
Reese’s family was in attendance at Wintrust Arena to witness her historic moment, and her mom’s reaction went viral on social media. The Chi-Town Barbie has undoubtedly made a name for herself in the league this season, showcasing her impressive skills on the court and making a statement as one of the most promising rookies in the WNBA.
