Angel Reese doesn't care about double-double records
Angel Reese has set records this season with her double-doubles. She's getting closer to breaking Tina Charles' record for most double-doubles by a rookie in a season. Charles' record is 23, and Reese just needs four more to take it from the Atlanta Dream center.
However, Reese told reporters after her team's 18-point loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday that she doesn't care about individual records. She's more concerned about helping the Chicago Sky make the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
The Sky remain in eighth place after Sunday night, with a 11-16 record. They have 1.5 games ahead of the Atlanta Dream for the final playoff spot but need to start winning games. They are 1-2 in the second half of the regular season, while the Dream have won two in a row.
