Angel Reese leaves A'ja Wilson behind to secure huge record
Angel Reese may have had a slow start to the season, but her remarkable resurgence has been nothing short of impressive. In addition to recording five straight games with at least 15 rebounds, Reese now owns the WNBA record for the most games in a single season with both 15 points and 15 rebounds.
The Chicago Sky star has achieved the feat four times this season, breaking the previous record held jointly by legends A'ja Wilson, Jonquel Jones and Lisa Leslie. In Sunday’s clash against the Minnesota Lynx, Reese delivered yet another standout performance with 16 points and 17 rebounds.
While her MVP case has undoubtedly strengthened, the Sky's overall struggles will hinder her chances. Chicago currently sits at 5-12 after 17 games, which may impact how voters view Reese’s individual brilliance. The 6-foot-3 forward is averaging 12.6 points and 12.8 rebounds per game this season.
Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark, who was once second in MVP odds, has seen her stock drop due to injuries. According to Polymarket, the Indiana Fever sensation now holds the fifth-best odds in the MVP race.
