Other than her five turnovers and plus/minus score of -20, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese didn’t have too bad of a stat line during Saturday’s game against the Indiana Fever.
Reese was the Sky’s Player of the Game, as she scored 12 points and added 17 rebounds in a 93-58 loss to the Fever in front of 17,274 fans at Gainbridge Arena.
The Chicago Sky had a bad shooting day
Reese’s teammates didn’t do her many favors. Chicago shot just 29.1% and 22.2% from beyond the three-point line. Newcomers Courtney Vandersloot, Kia Nurse, and Ariel Atkins combined for 19 points, one shy of the 20 Caitlin Clark added for the Fever.
Reese made WNBA history in the first half of the contest. In her rookie season, Reese recorded 446 rebounds, the most ever for a WNBA player in a single season. On Saturday, she became the fastest WNBA player to score 450 points and record 450 rebounds.
Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese boasts personal achievement from loss
Reese posted to her Instagram account on Saturday after the loss, but was silent on X until Monday afternoon. On Monday, she boasted about her rebounding and scoring achievement by reposting TOGETHXR with a gratitude emoji.
“One game in and already more history for @Reese10Angel,” TOGETHXR posted.

While history will remember the game for other reasons, Reese can use the confidence she gained against the Fever by helping the Sky defeat the defending champion New York Liberty on Thursday.
