Angel Reese Records, Top Highlights from WNBA Rookie Year After Season-Ending Injury

Angel Reese's historic rookie year has unfortunately come to an end.

The Chicago Sky star announced on social media Saturday that she has sustained a season-ending injury after 34 games. Though she didn't clarify the specifics of the injury, the team announced that the rookie sustained a wrist ailment that will keep her out for the remainder of the year.

While Reese, the Sky and fans would have liked to see Reese play a full season and compete in the playoffs, she still gave the WNBA world quite the show in the games she did play and it's clear she's on her way to being a star for years to come.

After the news of Reese's injury, here's a look at her final stats, the records she broke and some of her best highlights from the 2024 season.

Angel Reese 2024 Highlights

---

Reese ended her season with an outstanding performance, putting up 24 points and 12 rebounds in a win against the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday.

While Reese did set the record for double-doubles by a rookie, she was just two away from tying Connecticut Sun's Alyssa Thomas' WNBA record of 28 in a single season. The injury prevented her from breaking that record this year, but it wouldn't be a surprise for her to get it done at some point in her career, potentially as early as next season.

The injury comes at an unfortunate time as the Sky are looking to make a push to ensure a playoff berth. Chicago is currently in eighth place in the WNBA standings, tied with the Atlanta Dream at 12-22. With their star rookie out for the year, the Sky will need to step up their game in the final weeks of the season.
