Angel Reese’s latest performance added another milestone to what has already been a record-setting season for the Atlanta Dream star.
The All-Star forward helped Atlanta secure a 107-95 win over the Toronto Tempo on Monday, finishing with 20 points and 14 rebounds. The performance gave Reese a franchise-record 22 double-doubles this season, while her 71 career double-doubles moved her to No. 15 on the WNBA’s all-time list, according to Real App, causing a buzz on social media.
Angel Reese Makes History vs. Tempo, but WNBA World Remains Divided Amid Caitlin Clark Comparisons
Double-doubles have been one of Reese’s biggest statistical trademarks since entering the WNBA. During her rookie campaign with the Chicago Sky in 2024, she recorded 26, a tally second only to Alyssa Thomas’ 28 the previous season.
Reese now has a chance to move past Thomas. With 12 games remaining, the Dream star could add several more double-doubles before the end of the regular season and potentially climb even higher on the league’s all-time leaderboard.
Her latest milestone , however, produced sharply varying reactions across the WNBA community on X.
“The Angel Reese hate really has to end. She’s not just a good player. She’s not just a great player. Angel Reese is Top 10 in the world. She deserves respect,” ESPN’s Sam Block wrote .
Block added , “This is what an elite hooper looks like.”
“And Caitlin Clark is still better than her lol,” an X user reacted .
“Setting franchise records she’s goated fr,” a Reese supporter gushed .
“They’re two losses away from last year’s record. She doesn’t move the needle for any franchise,” another X user commented .
“Angel Reese this season: 15.8 PPG (career-high), 11.9 RPG (leads WNBA), 2.3 STL + BLK. Deserves more DPOY love,” Polymarket Hoops posted .
The pace of Reese’s double-doubles is also staggering, drawing attention beyond the immediate franchise record. DraftKings provided additional historical context by comparing her production with the league’s all-time leader.
“Tina Charles: 201 double-doubles in 473 career games. Angel Reese: 71 in just 95 games. At her current pace, Reese would have 354 double-doubles by career game 473. That’s 153 MORE than the WNBA record.”
The performance also marked a significant response from Reese after a difficult outing against the Washington Mystics on Friday. She scored 7 points on just 1-for-12 shooting in Atlanta’s 79-74 loss.
Against Toronto, Reese returned to the statistical form that has defined much of her season.

The numbers continue to put Reese among the WNBA’s all-time most productive rebounders and double-double threats, while the reactions surrounding her performances show how closely her success continues to be measured alongside Clark.
With 12 games still on Atlanta’s schedule, Reese has more opportunities to add to the franchise record and push up her career totals.
