CHICAGO — Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese became the first player in WNBA history to record at least 20 rebounds in three consecutive games on Sunday afternoon. Another stellar effort on the glass was not enough, however, as the Sky fell to the Las Vegas Aces on a buzzer-beater by A’ja Wilson.
Reese had another tough night around the basket, but despite shooting just 4-of-16, she finished with 11 points, a career-high 22 rebounds and two blocks, and played a big role in the Sky’s second-half comeback, which ultimately fell short in the closing seconds.
To give further context to Reese’s feat, only four other players have three 20-rebound games in their career, and Tina Charles and Jonquel Jones are the only other players to record three such games in the same season. In the span of three games, Reese is now tied for fourth all-time in that category.
For the season, the relentless Reese is now averaging 12.9 rebounds per game, which not only leads the league but would be the highest single-season average in league…
