Angel Reese records first WNBA career triple-double in Sky win vs. Sun

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese reached another milestone in her young WNBA career on Sunday afternoon, recording her first career triple-double in the Sky’s 78-66 win over the Connecticut Sun.
Reese recorded 11 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists to secure the win in the Commissioner’s Cup.
Reese has accomplished a ton in her second WNBA season. She has collected 565 rebounds and 566 points in two seasons, making her the fastest WNBA player to reach that statistical milestone.
“My first year, I was a passer, and I could have been a passer throughout all my career,” Reese said in her postgame press conference. “I came out of high school as the number 1 wing, and I’m trying to get back to that and trying to get back to being super versatile, and [coach] Tyler [Marsh] made that emphasis early on in the season.”
During Sunday’s win, Reese told reporters she had a feeling that she was going to collect a triple-double.
“Somebody came up to me and said that I had one more, and then [Hailey Van Lith] made it,” Reese said. “I knew somebody was going to get it because I knew they were going to make the shot. We made a lot of great shots tonight, so I knew that was coming.”
Sky head coach Tyler Marsh commented on how Reese was able to be versatile and facilitate the offense in securing the win on the road.
“She came through the entire game,” Marsh said. “Whether it was defending, facilitating — whether it was rebounding, whether it was scoring, she was getting to the free throw line, she was drawing contact and she was creating a lot of congestion in the paint where she was able to find shooters. She was great across the board tonight and we needed every bit of it.”
