Angel Reese added another remarkable accomplishment to her growing WNBA résumé by making league history just 93 games into her professional career. The Atlanta Dream forward became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 70 career double-doubles, reinforcing her reputation as one of the league’s most dominant rebounders and productive frontcourt players.

Reese reached the milestone during another standout performance, continuing a season that has been defined by consistency on both ends of the floor. Her ability to combine scoring with relentless rebounding has made her one of the WNBA’s most dependable performers. The latest double-double came only one game after she tied the previous record, highlighting the extraordinary pace at which she continues to rewrite league history.

What makes Reese’s accomplishment even more impressive is how quickly she surpassed some of the greatest post players the WNBA has ever seen. She needed only 93 career games to reach 70 double-doubles, shattering the previous pace established by Brittney Griner. Despite standing 6-foot-4 and often facing taller opponents in the paint, Reese has consistently controlled the glass through effort, positioning and relentless competitiveness.

The historic milestone reflects more than just rebounding ability. Reese has developed into one of the WNBA’s most complete forwards, providing consistent offensive production while anchoring the Dream’s frontcourt. Her physical style of play, high motor and determination have made her a difficult matchup for opponents and a central figure in Atlanta’s push for postseason success.

Although individual records have continued to accumulate, Reese has repeatedly emphasized the importance of team achievements. The Dream have benefited from her nightly production, relying on her presence to establish an identity built around toughness and second-chance opportunities. As she continues to mature, Reese’s leadership has become just as valuable as the statistics she produces every game.

Reese’s latest record underscores the extraordinary start to a career that still appears to be in its early stages. Becoming the fastest player in league history to reach 70 double-doubles is another reminder that she is already carving out a place among the WNBA’s elite, with the potential to climb even higher on the league’s all-time lists as her career continues to unfold.
