5 WNBA players with the most 15-point, 15-rebound games in regular season.

Tina Charles led the Atlanta Dream to their third win of the WNBA season on Wednesday against the Washington Mystics. Charles finished the game with 17 points and 15 rebounds, which was her 31st game with at least 15 points and as many rebounds.

Charles is the all-time leader in that category in league history, followed by the legendary Sylvia Fowles, who has 28. It's a rare feat to accomplish in the league, and only the greats have been able to achieve it multiple times.

Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson possibly have the chance to break it, given their consistency in the past few years. But who are the five WNBA players with the most 15-point, 15-rebound games in history?


Five players with the most 15-point, 15-rebound games in WNBA regular season history


#1 Tina Charles (31 and counting)

As mentioned above, Tina Charles is the WNBA's all-time leader in 15-point, 15-rebound games, with 31. Charles remains a double-double threat despite her age, proving that it's just a number.

A future Hall of Famer, Charles is a former league MVP and Rookie of the Year. She's an eight-time All-Star and has played for the Connecticut Sun, New York Liberty, Washington Mystics, Phoenix Mercury, Seattle Storm and the Atlanta Dream.


#2 Sylvia Fowles (28)

The recently retired Sylvia Fowles was a towering presence for the Chicago Sky and Minnesota Lynx during her 14-year career. She averaged almost a double-double in her career, so it's fitting that she has 28 15-point, 15-rebound games.

Fowles retired at the end of the 2022 season, finishing with two championships, two WNBA Finals MVPs, one league MVP, four Defensive Player of the Year awards and eight All-Star selections.


#3 Lisa Leslie (22)

Lisa Leslie achieved 22 15-point, 15-rebound games in her 12-year career, all with the LA Sparks. Leslie, standing at six-foot-five, had a towering presence during her peak in the league.

The former center is considered one of the greatest players in WNBA history. She retired as a three-time league MVP, two-time champion and two-time WNBA Finals MVP. She's also an eight-time All-Star and a three-time All-Star Game MVP.


#4 Yolanda Griffith (18)

One of the biggest WNBA stars of the 2000s, Yolanda Griffith played most of her career with the Sacramento Monarchs. She ended her career in 2009 with 18 15-point, 15-rebound games.

Just like the three players above her, Griffith is a former league MVP and has a championship ring. She's also a former Defensive Player of the Year and an eight-time All-Star.


#5 Chamique Holdsclaw and Jonquel Jones (14)

Chamique Holdsclaw was one of the league's biggest stars in the 2000s. She played for four teams but had her best years with the Washington Mystics. She's the only player on this list without an MVP award on her resume.

Meanwhile, Jonquel Jones is tied with Holdsclaw for fifth spot on the list. She's a former MVP and still has a chance of passing Holdslaw and taking fifth spot all for herself.
