Angel Reese added another historic achievement to her rapidly growing résumé on Saturday, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds.
The Atlanta Dream forward reached the milestone in just 79 career games during Atlanta’s victory over the Indiana Fever, surpassing the previous record held by WNBA legend Tina Charles, who needed 89 games to collect 1,000 rebounds.
Since entering the league, Reese has established herself as one of the most dominant rebounders in professional basketball. Her relentless motor, physicality, and ability to track the ball have made her a force on both ends of the floor and a nightmare matchup for opposing frontcourts.
The milestone is the latest accomplishment in a record-setting start to Reese’s career. She has already become the fastest player to reach 900 rebounds, set records for double-doubles, and authored multiple 20-rebound performances that have helped cement her status as one of the league’s premier young stars.
Reese’s impact extends beyond the stat sheet. Since her collegiate days at LSU, she has become one of the most recognizable faces in women’s basketball, helping drive increased attention and visibility for the WNBA.
At just 24 years old, Reese is still in the early stages of her professional career, making the pace at which she is accumulating historic achievements even more impressive. If her current trajectory continues, more records are likely to fall as she continues to establish herself among the game’s elite.
With 1,000 rebounds already in the books and plenty of basketball ahead of her, Angel Reese’s place in WNBA history continues to grow.
