Angel Reese Sets WNBA Single-Season Rebound Record
By Drooid · · How we work
Historic Rebound Milestone
In her third WNBA season, Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese became the first player in league history to surpass 500 rebounds in a single campaign. The achievement was recorded during a 106-81 victory over the Chicago Sky, where Reese posted a double-double with 23 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals. The milestone follows her recent gold-medal performance with Team USA at the FIBA World Cup in Berlin.
Season Performance and Statistics
Reese’s rebound total now stands at 505 for the current season, with two games remaining. Over three seasons she has accumulated 1,328 rebounds, averaging 12.6 per game and 442 per season. By comparison, the career-rebounds leader, Tina Charles, sits at 4,262, while former star Nneka Ogwumike ranks third with 3,621. Reese’s pace places her on track to move up the all-time list within the next five or six years, assuming she remains healthy.
Impact on the Dream’s Playoff Push
The Dream entered the final stretch of the regular season in fourth place, a half-game ahead of the Indiana Fever and a half-game behind the Las Vegas Aces. Atlanta’s 28-14 record secured a playoff berth, and Reese’s interior dominance has been highlighted as a key factor in the team’s recent success.
Upcoming Schedule
The Dream’s remaining two games are scheduled against the New York Liberty later this month, with the second meeting concluding the regular-season slate. These contests will provide Reese the opportunity to add to her historic rebound total before the playoffs begin.
