Chicago Sky sensation Angel Reese wrote herself in the WNBA history books – just a day after rival Caitlin Clark broke more new ground with the Indiana Fever.

Reese put a 13th consecutive double-double in Sunday’s clash against the Seattle Storm. That saw her break Candace Parker’s record for the most successive double-doubles in WNBA history.

Parker’s streak spanned the 2009 and 2010 seasons but Reese – the No 7 overall pick – went one better while still in her rookie year.

The former LSU star was unable to prevent the Sky from slipping to a 84-71 defeat by the Storm on Sunday night.

But Reese still put in an historic performance, amassing 17 points and 14 rebounds, a day after Clark recorded the first ever rookie triple-double in the WNBA.

Their exploits further underlined why both Reese and Clark are battling it out for the WNBA Rookie of the Year award.

Clark, the odds-on favorite, dropped 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists in an 83-78 victory over the New York Liberty.

The No 1 pick in the WNBA draft was one rebound shy of a triple-double two games earlier, during an 88-82 road victory over the Phoenix Mercury.

In a brilliant moment captured on video, Clark was praised by her head coach, before being covered in water by her Fever teammates.

‘First time for a rookie to get a triple-double in franchise history,’ Christie Sides can be heard saying, before pointing to Clark beside her.
