UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Angel Reese had 11 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds for her first career triple-double in the Chicago Sky‘s 78-66 win over the Connecticut Sun on Sunday.
At 23 years and 40 days old, she became the second-youngest player to record a triple-double in WNBA history, behind only Caitlin Clark, who did it twice while still 22.
Reese’s 11 assists were more than double her previous career high and helped put five Sky players in double figures. Hailey Van Lith‘s 16 points led a dominant bench for Chicago (3-7) that outscored the Sun reserves 36-2 in the Commissioner’s Cup game.
Kia Nurse had 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting with three 3s, and Kamilla Cardoso and Ariel Atkins both had 10 points. Reserve Rachel Banham made her 300th career 3-pointer.
Marina Mabrey scored 22 points with five 3s for the Sun (2-8). Tina Charles added 19 points and Jacy Sheldon had 12.
Both teams shot 40% and made six 3-pointers in the first half, but the Sky were perfect on eight free throws to take a 38-36 lead. Mabrey was the only player in double figures with 16.
Mabrey’s 3 and two free throws by Charles gave Connecticut a 47-44…
