CHICAGO -- Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese etched her name in the record books Sunday during the team's 70-62 loss to the Minnesota Lynx when she recorded her 10th consecutive double-double. Reese now has the longest such streak all time, surpassing future Hall of Famer Candace Parker. 

"She knows what she does best," Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon said after the team's loss to the Las Vegas Aces earlier this week. "The one thing about her is that she is incredibly hard on herself. As far as rebounding the ball, we knew that would translate over [from college]. And she's getting a better understanding of how to score around the rim. She's learning and she's learning fast."

As time wound down in the fourth quarter, it seemed Reese would fall short on the scoring front. But with 40 seconds remaining, she grabbed a series of offensive rebounds and finally got a putback to go down, which got her to nine points. Then, on the Sky's final offensive possession, she was fouled on a box out and went to the line. Though she missed the first free throw, she made the second, much to the delight of the Sky crowd. 

Here's a look at the longest double-double streaks ever:

Player	Team	Season	Streak
Angel Reese	Chicago Sky	2024	10
Candace Parker	Los Angeles Sparks	2015	9
Sylvia Fowles	Chicago Sky	2012	8
Sylvia Fowles	Chicago Sky	2011	8
Satou Sabally	Dallas Wings	2023	7
Jonquel Jones	Connecticut Sun	2017	7
Sylvia Fowles	Chicago Sky	2014	7
Tina Charles	Connecticut Sun	2011	7
Lauren Jackson	Seattle Storm	2003	7

Reese was again a force on the boards, finishing with double digits in the rebounding department for the 11th consecutive game. This was the third time in the last four games Reese had at least 15 rebounds. She had a tough time finishing, though, and shot 4-of-16 from the field.
