The Chicago Sky suffered a tough 79-52 loss at home to the Indiana Fever on Saturday. However, after the game, attention turned to the sky forward Angel Reese. She reached a very unusual milestone as she holds more career rebounds with 532 than points, 526 in the WNBA. These rare numbers quickly drew comparisons to NBA rebounding specialist Andre Drummond.
In the game against the Fever, Reese played 27 minutes, scoring four points on 2-of-7 shooting, and grabbed an impressive 12 rebounds. She added two assists and has three turnovers. Her 12 rebounds were the most of any player in the game, making up 40% of the Sky’s total rebounds.
Even with her strong rebounding, critics quickly pointed out Reese’s ongoing struggle with scoring efficiently. She is shooting a career-low 30.9% from the field, much lower than her 39.1% last year. In Saturday’s game, she had eight more rebounds than points, which further highlights this growing difference.
Rees’s excellent rebounding overshadowed her scoring. Many fans were surprised by this unusual stat line. If this pattern continues, the difference in her career rebounds and points will likely grow even larger, cementing her unique position in WNBA history.
