Angel Reese made WNBA fans angry after breaking another record.
On Friday night, Reese and the Chicago Sky faced off against Caitlin Clark in the Indiana Fever.
While the Fever were up 22 points vs the Sky with 2 minutes left in the game, Reese was kept in the game and broke the rookie record of 23 double-doubles in a season.
Angel Reese gets five points after the Fever subs out their starters, gets her double-double.

Fans were furious and accused the Sky of keeping Reese in the game so that she could break the record.
“Naw Angel Reese literally stats padding Wdf…They losing by 20, both team took out all their starters but Reese stayed on playing against the bench, just so she can scored her 10th point with 1min left in the 4th….. Mane Wtf happened to the game” said one fan.
“Come on, leaving Angel Reese in down 25 and all of your other starters on the bench, you can’t tell me it’s not all about her stat padding. Great message for the rest of the teammates.” commented another fan.
Barstool’s Dave Portnoy also had jokes about Reese’s latest double-double record.
