Angel Reese finds herself on the brink of history as the Chicago Sky face off against the Minnesota Lynx on June 30 at the Wintrust Arena. Reese, who is the second high-profile pick of the 2024 WNBA draft for the Sky this season, alongside Kamilla Cardoso, has produced 9 straight double-doubles in preparation for this matchup.
As the Sky looks to bounce back from their defeat against the Aces, Reese has the chance to become the first WNBA star ever to produce 10 straight double-doubles. Regardless, the Sky are facing Dallas Wings, who are eager to rebound from their fourth of the season. Napheesa Collier is leading her side in both points (21.4) and rebounds(10.4), with Kayla McBride averaging 15.8 points and 3.4 assists.
The Lynx are at the top of the Western Conference thus far with a 13-4 record and will travel to the Sky’s arena for this game.
