Angel Reese makes history as Chicago Sky rookie follows WNBA rival Caitlin Clark by breaking new record

Chicago Sky sensation Angel Reese wrote herself into the WNBA history books — just a day after rival Caitlin Clark broke new ground with the Indiana Fever.

Reese recorded a 13th consecutive double-double in Sunday’s clash against the Seattle Storm, breaking Candace Parker’s record for most consecutive double-doubles in WNBA history.

Parker played a series of games in the 2009 and 2010 seasons, but Reese, the seventh pick in the draft, did even better in her rookie year.

It comes a day after Clark recorded the first-ever rookie triple-double in the WNBA, further cementing her own Rookie of the Year credentials.

In a stunning moment captured on video, Clark was praised by her head coach before being buried under water by her Fever teammates.

“This is the first time in franchise history that a rookie has had a triple-double,” Christie Sides can be heard saying, before pointing to Clark next to her.

This led to cheerful scenes, with the team running up to her and emptying their water bottles over her head, much to Clark’s surprise.
