Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky’s star forward, is on the verge of losing her WNBA single-season rebound record ¹. A’ja Wilson, the Las Vegas Aces’ dominant center, is merely 12 rebounds away from breaking Reese’s record of 446 rebounds ¹. With three games left in the regular season, Wilson is poised to surpass Reese’s record, especially given her impressive average of 11.9 rebounds per game ¹.
Reese, who has been out with a season-ending wrist injury since September 6, has been forced to watch from the sidelines as Wilson closes in on her record ¹. Despite her impressive rookie season, which included setting the single-season record for rebounds and recording 26 double-doubles, Reese’s injury has left her unable to defend her record on the court ².
Wilson, on the other hand, has been on a tear, leading the Aces to six wins in their last seven games and solidifying her position as a top contender for the 2024 MVP award ¹. If Wilson breaks Reese’s record, she will have achieved an impressive double, having already set the single-season scoring record earlier this season ³.
