The performance extended Reese’s WNBA record of consecutive games with a double-double to 11. She’s achieved the feat 18 games into her WNBA career.

Reese claimed the record for herself on Sunday with a 10-point, 17-rebound effort against the Minnesota Lynx. That performance broke the previous record of nine straight double-doubles held by future Hall of Famer Candace Parker from her 2015 season.

Now with every ensuing consecutive double-double, Reese claims a new record. There wasn’t much of a sweat to extend it on Tuesday.

Reese had 10 points and nine rebounds by early in the third quarter. Then with 5:39 left in the quarter, she pulled down an offensive rebound to secure the double-double. After the game, Reese learned that she’d been chosen as a WNBA All-Star.

Will Reese make a run for Rookie of the Year?

Reese’s rebounding is proving formidable at the next level. The former LSU star’s 17-rebound effort on Sunday increased her average to a league-best 11.4 per game. She’s a force on both ends of the floor and entered Tuesday averaging 13.3 points, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals in addition to her league-best rebounding rate. The effort sets her up as the top competition for — who else? — Caitlin Clark in the Rookie of the Year race.

Clark entered Tuesday averaging 16.2 points, 6.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game while shooting 34.5% from 3-point distance. The former Iowa phenom and No. 1 pick in the draft by the Indiana Fever keeps improving and is the heavy betting favorite for the award. But Reese continues to make a case that can’t be ignored.
