Angel Reese has notched another double-double but is again facing stat-padding accusations.
Reese and the Chicago Sky faced off against MVP frontrunner A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday.
During the game, Reese picked up another double-double and became the first player in WNBA history to record three straight 20+ rebound games.
Unchartered territory.

Unfortunately, Reese’s rebounding stats have come into question from fans.
During a sequence in the game, Reese picked up four offensive rebounds off her own missed layup attempts.

Despite grabbing 22 rebounds in the game, Reese only shot 25 percent from the field.

It’s clear that Reese is a rebounding monster, but she definitely needs to work on her offensive skills before she can become a true superstar.
