Brief
Angel Reese sets WNBA record as fastest to 500 points and rebounds, while league clears allegations of racist remarks.
Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese etched her name in WNBA history on Tuesday, becoming the fastest player to reach 500 points and 500 rebounds in just 38 games, surpassing Tina Thompson’s previous record of 44 games set in 1997-98. Reese’s milestone came during a 94-89 loss to the Phoenix Mercury, where she tallied 13 points and 15 rebounds, showcasing her relentless energy on the court.
This achievement arrived on the heels of the WNBA’s investigation into alleged racist remarks directed at Reese during the season opener against the Indiana Fever. The league, after reviewing fan accounts, staff reports, and game footage, found no evidence to substantiate the claims. The WNBA reaffirmed its commitment to a safe, inclusive environment, a stance echoed by Sky President and CEO Adam Fox, who praised the league’s efforts to combat hate.
Reese, undeterred by off-court noise, continues to shine as a dominant force, blending grit and grace in her historic rookie campaign.

Angel Reese is out here grabbing rebounds and records like they’re the last slices of pizza at a party! Meanwhile, the WNBA’s investigation into alleged slurs found less substance than a politician’s promise. Gotta love Reese’s focus—she’s too busy making history to sweat the sidelines.
