Angel Reese, the former LSU basketball standout, opened a historic stretch with the Atlanta Dream that culminated in her being named the WNBA Eastern Player of the Week.
A Week of Records
During the stretch she shot an astonishing 67.4% from the field across three games, averaging 24 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.7 steals per contest.
Her 31‑point outburst against the Phoenix Mercury marked a personal high, while a 26‑rebound performance versus the Los Angeles Sparks rewrote the WNBA single‑game record.
Reese also added a personal milestone by pulling down 458 rebounds in a single season, a tally that tops the league for the current campaign.
Now in her third WNBA season, she is posting career‑best numbers of 16.1 points and a league‑leading 12.4 rebounds per game, helping the Dream climb to fourth in the standings and launch a four‑game winning streak.
After two seasons with the Chicago Sky, where she was drafted seventh overall in 2024, Reese joined the Dream and has since become a cornerstone of their push toward the playoffs, with six games remaining before the postseason begins.
