Angel Reese broke the WNBA single-season rebounding record Sunday, as she also had her 24th double-double in the Sky's 79-74 loss at Minnesota. Reese also said she wasn't aware of the record, which was previously held by Sylvia Fowles. Fowles is the WNBA's career rebounding leader with 4,006 in 408 regular-season games.
Reese finished with 19 rebounds Sunday, moving her to 418 through 32 games.
"Coming into [the WNBA] I just knew my motor," Reese said. "Offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds is something that I know I can always do. I knew it was going to translate right away.
"A lot of people think it's because I get my own [misses] but statistically, it's not. People think it's because I'm the tallest on the court, when I'm not. It's being able to go down there and bang, doing things that a lot of people don't want to do. Defense and rebounding wins championships. And I've won championships at every level by just doing that."
