Angel Reese sets new WNBA single-game and season rebound records

During a game against the Los Angeles Sparks, Angel Reese secured 26 rebounds, setting a fresh WNBA record for the most rebounds in a single contest. Her season total rose to 458, eclipsing A'Ja Wilson’s record of 451 rebounds for a year. Reese’s stat line also included 11 points, three assists and three steals, though she shot only 4-for-14 from the field and 3-for-4 at the free-throw line.

Social media users likened her rebounding dominance to that of Dennis Rodman, while a handful of commenters criticized her shooting efficiency and suggested the numbers were padded. Only eight of her rebounds came on the offensive end. The surge in her performance is viewed as a key factor for the Atlanta Dream as they build momentum heading into the postseason.
