Although Angel Reese's season was cut short by her wrist injury, she had a historical season with the Chicago Sky. While it might come as a surprise for many, the Sky star did receive a vote in the MVP voting.

Angel Reese received one vote in the fourth place voting and had a total of three points in the tally.

With three points in the voting, she finished 12th in the MVP voting, ahead of players like LA Sparks' Dearica Hamby and Connecticut Sun star DeWanna Bonner.

Angel Reese's rival Caitlin Clark made history after the MVP voting. The Indiana Fever star finished 4th in the MVP voting. She became the first rookie in the WNBA since Elena Delle Donne in 2013 to finish in top-5 of MVP voting.

Clark received six votes for 3rd place, 26 votes for 4th place and 22 votes for 5th place. She finished with a total of 130 points.

A'Ja Wilson was declared the unanimous MVP for the season and received all of the 67 first-place votes. She finished at the top with 670 points. Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier finished second in the MVP voting. She had a total of 467 points.

New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart finished 3rd with a total of 295 points. Last year, Stewart had won the MVP award.

Summary of Angel Reese's rookie season

Angel Reese might not have played every game of the season but there is no doubt that her rookie year was a historical one. The Chicago Sky star broke and made many rebounding records in her rookie season.

Even after playing fewer games than the rebounding leader behind her, Reese averaged far more offensive rebounds (172) in the season; the highest in the league history.

She has 26 double-doubles in her rookie season, which is the second highest in the WNBA history. Angel Reese was also selected as an All-Star in 2024.

Reese played a total of 34 games in her rookie season before she went out with a season-ending wrist injury. She averaged a double-double in her rookie season, averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. She also averaged 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

However, Reese struggled with her efficiency on the offensive end throughout the season. She shot only 39.1% from the field and 18.8% from the three-point line.

While Reese struggled to score in her rookie season, she showed great promise and a mentality to become one of the greats in the league. The Sky star will get enough time to work on her offensive game in the offseason and come back better equipped.
